Our loving nightly routine...
Me: I guess I have to turn off the TV, because you won't stay in bed. (turning off TV)
Kodi: No! I don't want the TV off! Stop, Mommy!
Me: (walking out of the room)
Kodi: You need a spankin! You can't turn the TV off, you just can't!
Me: Dakoda, I'm the boss. When you're the boss, you can say when the TV goes off. Goodnight, I love you.
Dakoda: No! You don't love me!
Me: I do love you, my little Kodi bear.
Kodi: No, you don't! And I don't love you!
(silence)
Kodi: Mommy?
(silence)
Kodi: Mommy, I'm sorry.
Me: goodnight, Kodi. I love you.
Kodi: I love you,too, mom.
This, too, shall pass...
