Tonight, we grabbed dinner at Subway while we were out running errands. Lucy was in a mood and started banging on the window. By then, I’d had it with her, and I told her I was going to spank her because she wasn’t behaving.

She came up to me, patted my hand and said, “Don’t be sad, Mommy.”

I said, “I’m not said. I’m mad at you.”

She just kept patting my hand and said, “It’s OK. Don’t be sad.”

How can I be upset with her when all I want to do is laugh?? That girl really knows how to get herself out of trouble!
