hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!! Not that I condone a worried mom, but that is awesome!
so did that work to get her off of the hook?
Your daughter is a smart one, that is for sure!
Very clever.
Does Ellen ever wonder why you go into another room and shut the door and laugh hysterically??? I would NOT be able to keep a poker face with that beloved child!!!!
i’m afraid cleverness isn’t reason enough to give yourself permission
and we just laugh out loud right then and there and tell her that was very funny, but it is not acceptable. (or whatever.) but yes, we do spend quite a bit of time laughing with her.
