Little Miss Can't-Be-Wrong



In my house we call her Lianna.

I don't know about you, but it drives me insane when I get a text message from my children asking me to pick up something on the way home from work that I shouldn't have to pick up at all.  

For example: Feminine Products.

Li sent me a text message about 45 minutes ago asking me to pick up tampons on my way home from work.  For starters I always keep a spare box/package of feminine products in our upstairs linen closet.  For no other reason than there's nothing worse than needing a tampon or pad and realizing that you are COMPLETELY out of them.  

I have a very simple rules in regards to my grocery list:
If you want me to buy something - put it on the list.
If you use the last of something - put it on the list.
If you take the last package/box of feminine products from the hall closet - FOR GODS SAKE PUT THAT SHIT ON THE LIST!

She sent me the text asking me to pick up tampons and the following text conversation took place:
Me - Since there's been nothing put on the list I would check the closet upstairs.  There should be an extra box there.
Li - There, isn't I Already checked
Me - Well... You may have to survive on pads then.  I don't have cash today, I don't have a debit/credit card today and no one (Read: you) put them on the list when they (Read: you) took the last box out.
Li - ...Have you forgotten that kiley has a period too so people (ready: you) shouldn't be so quick to point fingers
Me - Ki doesn't use tampons.  So it's not pointing fingers.  It's a matter of deduction.  I'm obviously not using them, she doesn't use them, (M) would't touch them with a 10 foot pole, so who does that leave?  Read: You.
Li - yes well she shaved her legs before she was allowed to so no you really dont know. Btw I wasnt planning on being rude but its hard not to when you talk to me like im an idiot

I can't even begin to respond to this latest text message unless I want my head to explode. 


For clarification, This is a child who NEVER remembers to put a damn thing on that list.  Ever.  So when I get these messages from her it drives me bonkers.  I was not talking to her like she was an idiot, I was simply trying to get across that there are no more tampons because she didn't put them on the list - again.

This last text message is also the reason why she can't use my car tonight after work. 


And because I'm a pregnant bitch.
