Picture This

Last night, Brandi wanted to prove she was old enough to read Twilight.

She has heard Kasi and I talking about it, and was curious.

She read the first three pages, looked at me, and said "it's too hard to understand".

I guess for a 7 year old, even though she read the words correctly, it is still too mature for her.

Fast forward to 4 am this morning...

she wakes me up, crying...

she had a nightmare...

about her grandparents being vampires...

yes, you dad!...

and she tells me all about it while we lay in bed, in the dark...

I comfort her and tell her it was just a dream...

I smile...

she said not to, because in the dark, my teeth look sharp...

so what does my 4 am half a brain self do?

I respond with...

"the better to eat you with!"

not good parenting right there...

she starts really screaming...

"I'M STILL DREAMING"...

and continues screaming...

until we get out of bed and watch drake and josh, and a couple of episodes of iCarly...

at 4 am...

she is going to be dragging at school today!

I can't even write this without laughing hysterically...

I am such a bad mom! lol!
