Super Two Year Old

Okay, the terrible twos are real. OMG! However, while my daughter is cranky, obstinante and honery, she is very polite about it. Jaida have some carrots. "No, thank you." Time to brush your teeth. "No, thank you, Mommy Kandis." Eat your dinner, Jaida. "No, thank you. I no want dinner."

Now mind you I am not ASKING her IF she by chance would LIKE to brush her teeth, eat dinner, have carrots. I am telling her, and yet instead of just saying 'NO! I don't want to.' She replies with a heart felt and at times teary eyed. 'No, thank you.'

I want to be so kind with God. Here is a dose of learning patience, my child. 'No, thank you.' Kandis, you really need a lesson in faith. 'No, Thank you very much, God.' It's not as if He/She is actually ASKING me if I want a lesson in any given virtue. No it's a dose of carrots I really don't want to eat.

Now I know how God must feel. It's funny and cute, but in the end it really doesn't matter what I want. I am going to get my lesson, eat my carrots of faith and there isn't much that I can do to stop it.

No, thank you.
