A Childhood Memory

May 11, 2007 by Devona | 2 comments

I have a vivid memory of my mother taking me to KB Toys. I wanted a something-or-other and she told me I couldn’t have it. I then proceeded to fake cry all about it up and down the aisles while my mom ignored me. I used to think she was cruel for ignoring me. “How insensitive,” I’d think.

Now that I’m the mother of a two-and-a-half year old, I think that she’d stumbled onto a very effective parenting technique.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MOM. Thanks for teaching me the art of selective hearing. I love you.

I don’t know if I stumbled onto it, or if it’s just mother nature’s way of making sure that moms don’t go insane from listening to a 2 year old’s constant talking. Either way, glad I could be of assistance. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to you too, Sweetheart. I love you.
