My kid is infuriating a lot of the time, but she makes up for it in cuteness and smarts. This morning she wanted something that I wouldn't give her (I can't even remember what it is right now, as she is always demanding something). I told her that she needed to wait and this immediately set off a set of hysterics and fake wailing that generally sets my teeth on edge. She will hurl herself on to the ground and wail if I say as much as, "No. Just wait a minute. I'll give you your toothbrush when I'm done wiping my ass." She wants what she wants NOW. I scooped her up into my arms, and she immediately shut up.
"Kid, you are getting on my last nerve," I said.
She then took her pudgy little finger and pressed my nose.
"Nerve, not nose."
She pressed it again, and I started to laugh.
"Neeerrrrve."
She pushed her head up to mind and rubbed her nose against mine.
"Mama. Nooose."
It is very, very hard to stay irritated.
