First full day of school for the new junior high student of my house and we're already in for a roller coaster ride. This morning's drama fest was over (....wait for it......) lettuce. The drama queen wanted to have a salad in her lunch and couldn't find the lettuce, which I told her was stashed in the back on the bottom shelf. Here's our conversation:
ALYSSA: (angry) but MOM it's NOT there!
MOM: (calmly sipping my coffee) Yes it is, Alyssa. I stashed it back there just for your lunches.
ALYSSA: (angrier, tearing up now) No it's NOT! You guys used it all for dinner last night!
MOM: (calmly sipping my coffee) No, Alyssa, we did not use an entire head of lettuce to make two salads.
ALYSSA: (now crying) Yes you did...and now I'm not even gonna have any lettuce for my salad.
MOM: (smirking unintentionally at the drama) Then fix a sandwich instead. Maybe you can put some of the lettuce on it from the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf.
ALYSSA: (now hitting the peak of the drama)Ugh! There's no....(tears of anger turn to tears of joy) Mom! I found the lettuce!
MOM: Where was it?
ALYSSA: Behind my juice boxes in the back of the fridge....
And all is well again with the world. God help us if she can't find the yogurt tomorrow.
