My child was certainly nice at wheedling out of getting into trouble.
- My wifey thought it was cute when she gave her the puppy pet face, until she figured out it happened most when she did something wrong.
I seldom fell for that ploy, so she didn’t try it with me. I knew she was only three, although she needed to know right from wrong, but at three years old, she was a regular Dennis the Menace and she was rambunctious. Nothing was safe when she was near. She had already broken most of our glasses and some of our furniture. It was done maliciously, although she thinks she is invincible, then last week, I caught him climbing on top of the cooling system unit. She had her slide over to the AC device and was trying to get on top. I told him she had to get off the a/c before she broke. She told me she wanted to be taller. I didn’t care what she wanted, I wanted him off the AC device before she fell. I knew she would not cut it. My child gave me the puppy pet face, and I grabbed him off the cooling system device and swatted her bottom. I wanted him to know there were consequences if she didn’t listen. My wifey came and told me our child had told her what happened, and she wasn’t glad. She said her baby was in tears because I didn’t care about him. I told her care about doesn’t fix an cooling system unit, and told her she was jumping on top of it. She agreed with me, because it wasn’t safe for him to crawl up there.
