I decided a long time ago, that if I am ever going to have any problems with one of my kids, it is going to be Ginny. We have our first kid, who has always been so obedient and desires to do what is right. Then there's Ginny.
Tay LOVED school and couldn't wait to go. Ginny loves school too, but not until she is there. She is in afternoon school, so she gets to play all morning, then has to stop what she's doing to go to school. She complains the whole way there. Every day she asks if she can please stay home. I finally started telling her that she could skip school on Saturday's. Since this kid is NOT Taylor, this little trick works. Every Saturday she is so giddy that she gets to "miss" school. I of course have to let Taylor stay home too (wink, wink). Hopefully no one reveals to her that she is being played by her mother.
Speaking of being played.... Ginny has been telling little lies lately. She is fine doing this, until she gets caught, then the guilt is written all over her face. Unfortunately, she acts like every punishment we give her is no big deal (extremely frustrating).
Well, i caught her in a string of lies today, so I started giving her the "You're not choosing the right, and Heavenly Father is sad, and Satan is happy " lecture. At this point, she was pretty upset that she had been caught telling lies. She then responded by saying, "Mom, Satan was just playing me, all right."
How do you NOT laugh when your 5 year old says this?
On the flip side, you will not find a more entertaining, hilarious kid. EVERYONE loves Ginny, and she's hard to get mad at sometimes. She looks at you with those huge eyes, and you can't stay mad at her. Gotta love the little stinker!!
