Snip-it

A quick snip heard recently in our home, and no I do NOT feel it is adoption/bonded related. Rather it is TEENAGE related...at that time of the month

Me: Mim go down stairs and get your book off the dryer.

20 minutes later

Me: "Where is Mim", while going thru papers

Ve: "Upstairs reading"

Me: "Did she go get her book?"

Ve: "I don't know"

Me: "go run upstairs and tell her to get her book"

Ve runs upstairs

Me: "what did she say?"

Ve: "I don't know she was talking so quiet I couldn't hear her" (Mim does this quiet talking when she is mad)

No movement from upstairs

Me to Ve: "go tell her Mom says now"

Ve runs upstairs

Mim starts yelling at Ve

Me: "don't yell at Ve for what I told her to do"

Me: "now go downstairs and get your book, like I said a while ago"

Mim: "I don't know what the dryer is" (she does, she plays the I don't know game when she doesn't want to do something)

Me: (knowing her game) "Yes you do, now go get it"

Mim: stomping down the steps and slamming her bedroom door hard. "Why do you hate me so much?"

Me, just smiling and musing as to how extreme teenagers emotions are

SNIP - IT UPDATE
Ok, Mim and I talked about this incident later, and she claims she said she "didn't want to read right now", not "why do you hate me so much", oh well maybe I miss understood, but it was still funny!!
