Alexis was spitting mad the other night. Abby had said or done something that had truly pissed her off. Something to do with a toy, or time on the computer, or political philosophy (Alexis joined the Tea Party movement in November).
She was apoplectic. She screamed at Abby.
"I hate you!!!"
Jill tried to calm her down. She turned on Jill.
"You are the worst mother ever!!!"
And I was just minding my own business, cooking dinner for the family, not saying a word. She looked my way and decided I shouldn't escape the wrath.
"And daddy..."
I winced and prepared for the worst.
"...your weather-stripping doesn't do anything at all to keep the cold air out!"
I was expecting "stupid" or "I hate you." I had no idea she would attack my craftsmanship. It was a hard criticism, but fair. My weather-stripping actually kinda sucked.
