"God controls me mom!!"

ok, so seriously...... Macie CRACKED me up yesterday! Her mind is SO young and innocent! i think that some of the things she says is sooo hilarious... get a kick out of this one....

as we were walking out to my truck after picking up a few things at Target, i was in a hurry because madelyn was in the middle of a nuclear meltdown and... heaven forbid the little lady ACTUALLY take a nap......

"macie, hurry up hunny, were in the middle of the parking lot... Pick up the pace"
"........walking slow........."
"MACIE, come ON, get a move on! hold my hand and lets hurry up"
"im going as FAST as i can mom! GOOOOOOOOSH!" (said with more spite and attitude than.... ME)
"excuse me? you don't talk to me like that. you better watch your mouth or your going to be grounded."
"UGH! im ALWAYS in trouble!"
"you are not ALWAYS in trouble!"
(at this point i have blocked out madelyn, and now, im just getting frustrated with ARGUING with her!)
...she is pausing in her back talk......Im kinda waiting......

"God controls me mom!! He controls everyone! so if God controls me, how can I be in trouble???!!!"
(she said VERY frustrated, and confused, and just MAD at getting in trouble)
i stopped, laughed at the situation, and looked at her... "hunny, i know God is in control of your life, but YOU still CHOOSE how you talk to mommy, and when you talk disrespectfull, your going to get in trouble. Its ok, lets just get in the truck...=) " and i hugged her of course!

and after that, i layed off her, because apparently her big mind is working overtime to understand life! it sounds precious to me! and since that conversation, I try and GENTLY remind her when she CHOOSES to snap at me or get an Attitude with me, that it is HER choice..... lol

my little love bug!

i love you macie!
