Little Miss Haana and I have our occasional squabbles. This one occurred week before last when I was driving us to the violin class. Before leaving home, I quickly grabbed a KitKat from the fridge as a treat.
After the class, we came back and sat in the car and decided it was time for a treat after all. It was a 4 piece chocolate, I tool out 1 piece for me and passed along the rest with the wrapper to the little thing in the car seat.
She started taking the chocolate out of the wrapper before eating. I told her not to do that, it was a recipe for a brown, sticky, melted chocolate mess. But little Miss Haana, instead of listening, kept telling me she had a plan. At some point in the exchange, I got really mad. "You just do not listen. At all. Now we will talk next only when you're willing to listen.", I gave her an ultimatum, I was hopping mad. She retorted by threatening to tell Papa on me. I was not pleased. There was some crying and some explaining (from me). After a few minutes, we both had cooled off somewhat.
When the crying stopped Miss Haana asked me for a pen and paper.
She wrote me a note that said:
I am ready to listen. You are the best, I love you. Love Gogoo.
Now, it was my turn to instantly melt :)
