Bossy Pants

Big Girl: Mommy, what are you doing?

Me: Showing your brother how to sign motorcycle.

Big Girl: That's not how you sign motorcycle. It's like this. (gestures slightly differently)

Me: No, that is close, but it is like this. (signing the way I did originally)

Big Girl: (indignantly) NO! It's like this. (gestures again)

Me: Don't speak to me like that.

Big Girl: No, it's like this. (Improving the tone, but sticking with her original sign!)

Me: Okay, fine.

Big Girl: (pauses) How do you sign motorcycle?

And our day ended with our super bossy pants on!

Me: I don't like how you are acting right now

Big Girl: But, I do like how I am acting right now.
