Reasons My Daughters Cried

“Reasons my Son in Crying” has been all over my facebook feed recently and as I flipped through the page, I could totally relate to many of the situations.  I thought it would be nice to share a few of my moments.  Here are the reasons why my children cried YESTERDAY:

  • Honeybun cried because Sugarplum took her shirt and ran away with it (a new game Sugarplum’s devised)
  • Honeybun cried because I wouldn’t let her take her Hello Kitty hat for show and tell that she took a few weeks ago (she was supposed to bring seeds from a fruit or vegetable but we don’t currently have any seeded items so we picked something related before she changed her mind—and then lost her mind)
  • Sugarplum cried because I asked her to go potty before we got in the car (a long standing rule: everyone must potty before leaving the house)
  • Sugarplum cried because we had to leave the park to run an errand and she wanted to get Honeybun first
  • Sugarplum cried because I turned off the light in a room we were leaving
  • Sugarplum cried because I opened the car door to buckle her carseat
  • Sugarplum cried because we had to go get Honeybun at school
  • Honeybun cried because I wouldn’t share my sandwich at lunch and she “doesn’t know what it tastes like”
  • Sugarplum cried because I took her lunch away after warning her about 10 times over 15 minutes that it was almost lunch time
  • Honeybun cried because the fan in her room at nap wasn’t on high enough
  • Sugarplum cried after she woke up from her nap because I opened the door but she wanted to come out
  • Sugarplum cried because she hurt herself at the park 5 hours earlier
  • Sugarplum cried when I told her we were having carrot cake for dessert (it didn’t help that Daddy laughed when she exclaimed “why?” and ran to her room)
