Things Go to Hell in a Handbasket So Quickly w/a 4 Yr Old

So last night we were enjoying the evening. All was at peace in the world. I was laying on the couch watching Soapnet, while T sat at the laptop playing on noggin. As it got past 10:00, I started telling her that we'd have to go to bed soon.

She ignored me, and continued playing.

Me: Taylor, you need to finish up b/c we need to go night night.

Silence. No acknowledgment. T continued playing.

Me: Taylor, you need to look at me when I talk to you and acknowledge what I'm saying...

Silence. T continued playing and ignoring me.

Me miffed: Taylor Jordan, if you don't look at me, the computer is over for the night.

Silence. T continued playing now with a smirk.

Me pissed at the smirk: That's it, little girl. I get up and slam the laptop closed.

Good.Lord.

All Hell broke loose. You'd think I was the worst mom in the world and that I tortured her on an hourly basis.

I suspect that this whole little scenario took about 30 seconds.

Life with a 4 yr old.
