Lessons in babysitting: Don't try to kid a kidder...

I made The Kid cry today. Every once in a while it is necessary to make children cry so that they don't turn into pansies...even if you don't intend to. Here's how it went down:

The Kid: Knock, knock
Me: Who's there?
The Kid: Boo!
Me: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
The Kid: Hahaha...no, knock, knock
Me: Who's there?
The Kid: Boo!
Me: AAAAAHHHHH! Why do you keep scaring me?
The Kid: Noooooo, you're supposed to say, "Boo who?"
Me: Why are you crying, you were the one scaring me.
The Kid: (in tears) You-oo-oo ruined my jo-o-o-ke
Me: Really?
The Kid: It wasn't fu-u-ny.
Me: Um, yeah, actually it was.

And I still think it was hilarious. I might feel worse if she wasn't turning into such a smart-butt from hanging around me all the time. It was time to knock her down a peg or two and show her who the comedian is in our relationship.

Fondest regards and happy sitting,
The Lady
