Scott and I started this horrible habit for the girls to tell us they want something in the stores for their birthday and/or Christmas. It was born out of them asking for stuff in the store and I would say maybe for your birthday. Well, birthdays and Christmas have passed and now they still go down the aisle and say “Buy this for my birthday”.
I took the girls to Wal-Mart to buy a birthday gift for a party Emma went to on Saturday and every other thing on the aisle was “Mommy, buy me this for my birthday.”
I finally said, “Stop saying ‘Mommy, buy this’. Just tell me you like it.”
Emma dutifully says, “Mommy, I like this..and this…and this.”
Lexi points to something across the aisle and says, “Mommy, tell Daddy I want him to buy me this for my birthday.”
Argh!
The kids and I were talking about “I want” in the car on the way home from school today. Christmas has only just passed and already I have a list as long as my arm of the accessories we “need” for the Wii plus several other things that Santa forgot. It feels like it never stops. My go-to line is “We’ll see”.
huahuahuahua!
My son does the same thing!
then he tries con convince me that “tomorrow is my birthday”!!!
lol!

That’s cute. But I could see how it could also be annoying.
I hated asking my parents for stuff when I was little. I hate asking for things now. And when it comes to the holidays, my mom demands a list of things I’d like. One day, maybe she’ll forget.
