5 little monkeys jumping on the bed.....

It has come to my attention that as children grow older they tend to feel as if their parents know nothing at all. Even as young as my children are sometimes I feel as if they're looking at me with a "what do you know" look. For instance, the other day I told my daughter Kylie to pay attention to where she's going and not where she's been. Not 5 minutes after that she ran smack dab into a wall. After I got done laughing (I know, not nice - but it was hilarious) she got mad at me for laughing at her. "Why are you laughing at me mommy, its not funny!" Seeing as she wasn't seriously hurt, it made me laugh more. I told her, if you would have listened to me, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. On occassion, mommy does know what she's talking about. She looked straight at me and said "no you don't". Now as I start to think about the years to come (she's only 5) I imagine that there are going to be some pretty interesting times in store for me and my children. I just hope that I'll be able to stop laughing long enough to take care of them :)
