Rachelfabulous’s post about her mini-meltdown reminded me of an episode two nights ago with my nine year old daughter.

I was checking her homework for her, and it was late, and I had just done another twelve hours at the office. You can imagine my mood.

She wasn’t listening at all, being disrespectful, and pushing my buttons left and right. I was getting angrier and angrier, and it just seemed to be fueling her.

At one point, I finally exploded and yelled, “DO YOU EVEN HAVE ANY CLUE WHATSOEVER WHY I’M SO MAD AT YOU RIGHT NOW?!”

She looked down at the floor, peeked up, and said, “Because I’m awesome and you’re jealous?”

Could. Not. Stop. Laughing.
