Busy Night

The concierge desk has been extra busy tonight.

My patrons needed dining services, extra curricular activities, nakey time, snack provisions, and Tubbie Tubbie viewing. In between all of these requests, I've had to fill in for the other employee of our hotel because he didn't show up for his shift. Yes, he's technically "in training", but he isn't here and that's why I get to bitch about it.

The big one has added a new weapon to her arsenal of tricks. She is very crafty with the spoken word, that one. A few weeks ago, she conned me into watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with her by saying that it was "Our Special Night". How can a person say NO to that? You just can't. Imagine the heart break.

Last night she pulled this maneuver on Mimi. They were at Wal Mart, and the BLM asked for some Halloween yard decor because it was "Their Special Night." Mimi didn't know about this tactic. I failed to mention it to her- honestly, I thought it was a one-time thing. Little did I know that she had stored this in her memory to use at any given time.

It worked on Mimi. It's only a matter of time before it works on Daddy and Papa too.

Giggle, giggle!

Somehow I think Mimi would have fallen for the "our night" line even if you had warned her. I would fall for it...over and over.

Oh, you can't NOT fall for it. It is so freakin' sweet. It makes your heart melt.

Lacy- we have scary tombstones and a skeleton coming up out of the ground. I will take some photographs for you!

Too funny, what a little bugger! It is practically genius though... I wonder if I can use it...

Oh Lord. Bram has used this tactic on all of the grandparents. He calls it "special time" and if he says it.....he comes home with shit that only Santa would be dumb enough to bring him.
I figure I have a very smart kid. Or a really spoiled one.

That is fantastic! I get "you are the best mommy ever" and it pretty much gets him what he wants every time!
We are such suckers.

That is a great tactic. I hope my girls don't use it on me!

M said...

She's learning quick, that one. I can tell you though, it only gets worse.
