I want to preface this by saying... I AM NOT A BRAT! Ha! I am definitely the baby of my family. I show this every single time we are all together. Some call me a brat, like my sister... but I just think I am smart. For example, we had family dinner last night. My mother asked me to go upstairs and grab the extra folding chairs. A few minutes later, my friend Amy looked at me and said, "didn't your mom need those chairs"? My response...."yea, if I wait long enough, someone else will do it". OK, I am being really honest here! Ha! It is kinda sad how easy those thoughts come to my head. We have family in town, so I was back at my mom's tonight to see them. She asked me to do something, and I just sighed and looked at her... she did the task. I know how this makes me sound... I really do! My family has always given me a very hard time about it.
When I was little, I always disappeared when it was time to do ANYTHING i didnt want to do. I can't help it... I am the baby, it just comes natural. My mom loves telling stories of when I was young. She says that when she needed me to do something, I would literally stand there and close my eyes. I would act like if I couldn't see her, then she couldn't see me. I was so creative even back then. Lol.
Now, here is the funny thing. I expect people to help when they are suppose to. In fact, the number 1 rule in my classroom is, HELP!! Wow!
Please dont think less of me, I am just trying to be honest here! HA HA!
And I know that is true.....Abby does some of the same stuff. She will sometimes flat out tell me I don't want to do it. I can't relate to the babies. I am the responsible oldest:)
ReplyDeleteI'm the oldest, too, Jennifer! Once again, Case, I'm laughing. :) (And PS--I'm sure you know, but this is Stephanie McVay--not sure why it doesn't put my name)
