It's not the first time this happened, and maybe I can't blame everything, from Katamommy to "freakin' awesome" to leveraging Right Said Fred and a Star Wars action figure to get my kids to eat, but today I will blame on this month's B12 shot leaving me wide-awake last night, thus making me a bit nutty this morning.
At breakfast...
Jude (looking for Special K Chocolate Delight): I want the chocolate cereal.
Me: You ate all of that one. Pick one of these two.
Karenna (after I open the box Jude picks): I don't want that one. I like the Fruit and Yogurt kind.
Me: That's too bad. Where were you when Jude was picking.
[Karenna whines incessantly, so I begin imitating it. Karenna continues as I get frustrated.]
Me: Ni!
Karenna (whining): What are you saying!
Me: Ni!
Karenna (whining): Why are you doing that?
Me: We shall say, "Ni!" again to you if you do not appease us.
[Jude laughs.]
Karenna (whining): Stop it!
Me: Bring us a shrubbery.
Karenna (whining): Stop! Stop!
Me: Ni! Ni! Ni!
Jude (laughing): Ni!
