"Are you happy now?"


We have been having some conversations about what makes mommy happy. The other day I was telling sweet Mackenna that it does not make me happy when she pees on the floor. The rest of the day was filled with her asking me, "Are you happy now, Mama?"

Then yesterday, as we were driving home from a friend's house, both kids took their carseat straps off their arms. I was reprimanding them, while still driving down the busy road. We talked about how straps keep us safe and how they are never to take them off while we are driving. Mackenna then asked me, "Are you happy now, Mama?" I told her "no, I am happy when you obey." She replied, "Well, what can I do to make you happy?" I told her, "obey Mama." She responded in a high-pitched, like-she-was-twirling-around-voice, "What if I go 'woooooo', will that make you happy? See, 'wooooooooo'! Are you happy now, Mama?"

Oh, sweet sweet little Mashugana, you do make your mama happy, even when you shouldn't!
