Parenting...

My emotions tend to get the better of me at times...especially on things I feel strongly about...and I feel strongly about MANY things...

...I am not too fond of card games, and my husband LOVES it!  So one day my seven year old  daughter Parris and I were discussing "it"

Me:  Parris, when you get older I don't want you to smoke or play cards ok?
Parris:  Why mommy because you don't like it?
Me:  Yes,  you follow me...because I don't smoke or play cards ...
Parris:  Okay mommy, I'll follow you and not daddy because he smokes...
Me:  Yes, I don't even know why he smokes when he didn't smoke when we were just dating...or even when you were a baby...
Parris:  Well, maybe he's just following HIS parents...
Me:  Yes, maybe....followed by...my own laughter....

Kids really do say the darnest things!!!  Raw and truthful...and my daughter Parris is very raw...and tells it like it is...I just had to laugh!
