exclaimHow to tame a very logical 4 year old in one easy step!

Would you like to hear the funniest but slightly cruel story? Ok.. I'll tell you..
Liv has been nothing short of a rat bag for the last few days, she is missing April I think, who is away camping with a friend from school. Very lucky little girl. I also think Liv has been showing off for Sam's friend, and then Levi's friend last night.

Anyways.. back to the story.
I told her that if you didn't behave, the easter bunny wouldn't come. Now.. I KNOW I am not the first parent to threaten these kind of things. I bet you hear it in any house at anytime of the year.
Her attitude continues to go down hill and over the rails. Shes out of control. So ...wink
I get the phone from the kitchen and sit down on the lounge, calling the house number because you can't get away with just talking.. because she knows you haven't dialed! So here I am talking to an engaged signal.

"Yes, I would like to talk to the Easter bunny please"
"Hey Liv, they are playing easter bouncy bunny music!!!" Shes looking at me with daggers in her eyes. I don't think she was happy with me at all!

"Yes Mr Bunny, I am calling to talk about Olivia, shes being naughty, and I told her that you wouldn't come around tonight if she kept it up. Yep, Ok, I will tell her"

Now keep in mind the horrified look on her face while I am doing this. Once she realised that I was talking to the bunny she went off!!!

"Give me the phone, I want to talk to the bunny, you don't know what you are saying, I am not naughty, GIVE ME THE PHONE!!!"

Sam and Levi are cracking up in the background, while I am trying to keep a straight face. Its not really working. So I decide to say goodbye and hang up.
Well.. thats when the fun really started.

"Give me the phone, I want to call him back. Tell me the number!! I know what it is, its 1, 2, 3!! Give me the PHONE!! When I talk to him I am telling him what you did!! "
lol

At this stage, I can't stop laughing. Shes in a huff big time, and walks down the hallway with one hand on her hip. Sam, Levi and I are just wetting ourselves.
Shes a darling, but you just have to be cruel to her to get through to her, shes just tooo smart for anyone.

Happy Easter everyone!!
