“We always be nice, mommy.”
This is a very common phrase in my house.
My Princess uses it for everything she can.
Mommy: “Don’t climb up on my chair anymore, Princess. This is my chair. I don’t want you up here.”
Princess: “We always be nice.”
Or another time this week:
Mommy: “No, you cannot have that lollipop.”
Princess: “We always be nice, mommy.”
Yet, one more time:
Mommy: “I can’t play with you right now, I am cooking.”
Princess: “We always be nice.”
Finally, I had to sit her down and try to explain, though I don’t think she understands, that when Mommy says NO, it does not mean I am not being nice. I just means no. That I still love her.
The thing is, I taught her this when dealing with other children. I keep repeating it her at church and the seminars, ‘always being nice’.
I am pretty sure she does not get it quite yet.
I have to admit, it does make me chuckle when she says it. It hasn’t quite gotten old. You know, when she starts doing it about 100 times, I will start getting annoyed. And praying for patience.
