The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

I did it. Today. I used the phrase I hated to hear as a child.

Macy's been on quite a spree of screaming/crying over absolutely nothing - well, not nothing...things like "I wanted to carry that milk glass" or "I don't want to wear my shoes" --things like that.

This morning, I just couldn't take it any more! So, I told her..."Quit crying or I'll give you something to cry about." Then, I did...it worked. She got a hug when she quit crying over the nonsense non-reason for crying.

sometimes they make me lose my mind...though, the hug made me better, too. ;)
