I have discovered my child’s future job

William Shatner has made his recent career as being the pitch man for Priceline.com.  The latest campaign is the Priceline Negotiator.  If you all thought that Shatner is the negotiator, think again.  MG and I have discovered that Mo has developed quite a skillset herself.

Here are a few examples for your reading pleasure.  Please put down your liquid beverage.  I shall not be held accountable for any beverages spilled or spit during the ensuing words.

Daddy:  Mo, drink your drink.
Mo:  Daddy, how about I drink this much?

Daddy: Mo, can you move your stool?
Mo:  Daddy, I’m gonna move it over to here.  Okay?

Daddy:  Mo, get dressed.
Mo:  Daddy, I’ll wear these shoes, but I don’t want to wear socks.  I want to show off my toenails.

Daddy, Mo, what is your sunshine for today?
Mo:  If you paint my toenails, that will be my sunshine for today.

*hits head over and over and over*

I tried to blame this trait on her mother, but she replied. “I don’t negotiate, I argue.” Well, I guess she must get it from me.

So, if you are worried that my child will be lost in the career jungle some day, have no fear.  She is well equipped.
