Getting ready to drive the other day...
Me: Mikayla, get your seatbelt on please.
Me: Mikayla, please make a good choice and get your seatbelt on. Are you listening to me? Please help me out and make a good choice.
Finally, I had to take off my seatbelt and reach back and help her put hers on.
Me: How come you didn't put your seatbelt on?
After about 10 seconds of thinking she sighed.
Mikayla: Mom, sometimes I just make bad choices. Because if I make bad choices now, then when I am a mom I can tell my kids not to make bad choices because I can tell them it's not good to get in trouble and make Mom mad. I will tell my kids to make good choices so they can be happy. So that's the reason I didn't put my seatbelt on Mom.
Seriously? Do I laugh? What does one do as the mother in this situation. I just snickered and quickly grabbed a pen and a piece of scratch paper to write it down. I mean, what else could I do?
