When your toddler asks you "Where is Sesame Street? How can I get there?"
DO NOT respond with the following.....
The Dictator: "Momma, where is Sesame Street?"
Me: (I just got up. I barely understand what she's saying to me. 4 hours of sleep total and no coffee yet. Is is trash day? What time do we have to leave today? Huh?) "Ummm......it's down the street, make a left, go four blocks, make another left, go two blocks, turn right and then go through the tunnel and you are at Sesame Street" (Shoot...did I just say tunnel??)
The Dictator: "Momma, can we GO to Sesame Street? I wanna go through the tunnel!"
Me: (Shit!) "Um....no.....not today.....they are repairing the giant slide and Sesame Street is closed today"
(FML! What did I just say?? Did I say giant SLIDE? WTH was I thinking??)
The Dictator: "I wanna go on the giant slide!! (Of course you do) I wanna go now!"
Me: "Remember, Sesame Street is closed today. We can go another time, okay?"
The Dictator: (After some screaming, and I swear an obscenity or two about Sesame Street's choice of days to stage a closure) "Ok Momma. I will go check our calendar."
Why the hell did I give her a calendar again??? This is going to end in an epic meltdown in a few days.
lol Love it!! Let me know if you figure a way out of that! ~ Joy
