Gratitude by ommission


My husband pointed out this morning that we NEVER get a 'positive' response from Thing 2. It's only an agreement to what she will tolerate from us at the moment.


For instance; when given the choice between her DC sandals and her Elmo crocks (both which she loves; but again, won't share her emotions) the answer was provided by not getting excited to see or pick one out; it was by batting away the pair she DID NOT want to wear. So with a swoop of her angry paw the Elmos went flying and papa got his 3rd stink-eye flash of the morning. HOW DARE YOU shut off Barney. Balls, man, Balls.
