Much to her delight, I just let Coco finish off a pack of gumballs. "Wow! Thanks, Mommy!" So, with my freshly bruised ego, (I'd link the last post about how beautifully superiorly gorgeous my daughter thinks Robyn is, but it's practically DIRECTLY BELOW) I say "You're welcome Buggerdoo. So, who's your most favorite mommy?" After all, I had JUST GIVEN HER 12 GUMBALLS and did I mention I'm way down the beauty food chain to my own daughter?! Isn't beauty supposed to be in the eye of the beholder?! BEHOLDER! I know you're thinking I probably deserve what was coming, considering I was fishing for a compliment. So what if I was. Coco said, "Miss Robyn. She's great. I like her earrings." Upon seeing the disgruntled face of the woman who gave birth to her and has nurtured, fed, clothed and loved her every day since, she adds, "and you're nice too." YOU'RE NICE TOO.Robyn, I'm packing up her things. Congratulations, it's a girl! You didn't even have to be pregnant and this one comes fully potty trained (gee, wonder which "nice too" person accomplished that?). Please send me a picture once a year and possibly an informational letter to accompany it. That'd be nice.
PS: Please remind her every so often that her less superior mommy loves her still. Rotten kid.

Seriously, Robyn enough already!
Awwww, you poor thing!!!
Just so you know- one day there WILL be payback!!! Just wait till she has kids of her own!!!!
You just wait Coco!!!!!
Aw man. Maybe she's testing you?? Coco, enough!
I'm giggling a bit over here. That's why I don't stand next to Robyn in crowds. :)
I think you're going to need to up the ante here. Pink nailpolish? Pierced ears? Half-pound chocolate bars? Gumballs are evidently insufficient.
She must be a "grass is greener" kinda kid. She'll feel the wrath when you tell her Robyn is buying her candy from now on.
Someone really needs to sit down with her and explain to her the rules of this Game. She obviously doesn't know there is only one appropriate answer to such a question. Save yourself some heartache and tell her the correct answer so she can get it right next time!
Dear Coco,
I'm not that great. Seriously. I would never let my kids have 12 gumballs. And remember that time I made you cry? See, I'm mean. I'd go as far as to say I'm a Meanie Meanerton. But your MOM, on the other hand, is not only nice, but beautiful, charming, witty, fun, and so much more. You would hate living at my house.
Love,
Robyn
P.S. Kristi--you can have my earrings. Apparently they have some sort of hypnotic effect when combined with popcorn and Shrek 3.
