I caught lil brother mocking me behind my back last week as I was giving him the ol-what-for. "I told you to pick up....and you need to...and why don't you...and you'd better...!" I mean it wasn't personal-I was just communicatin' some rather necessary but unsavory truths that he needed to hear. Well, of course I wanted to bust out laughing when I turned around and he was mocking me as bold as a blue jay, but I had to give him the hairy eyeball just for good measure. I mean no mama worth her salt can let you get away with that-even if she does have a good chuckle 'bout it in the privacy of her own bedroom. And since lil brother is no fool, he slunk off and got out of sight of the hairy eyeball before it could lead to something worse.
As a world renowned eye rolling-sass-mouth myself, I can see the handwriting on the wall. Mocking leads to mumble-bitching which leads to giving your mama the bird finger (behind her back, for sure). It's only a matter of time. And I'm okay with that. The way I figure it is if you ain't never given your mama the bird finger, she must not of been doing her job right anyway.
So, bring it, lil brother! I can flip with the best of 'em!
HILARIOUS!!!! I had a recent run in similar with Ashton. He and my niece were arguing/being mean to each other and I said the age old "don't have anything nice, then don't say anything at all". Ashton was mad at me because he felt that it was all of his cousin's fault and I was taking her side. I asked him something and he said, "Mom, I'm not going to say anything to you because I don't have anything nice to say." LOL! At least he understands how this works!! Nivia
