Hilariousness

The other night I did not feel like cooking, so we ordered TGI Friday's and brought it home to eat. I got Aidenne the kid's pizza since it didn't seem like she would eat anything else from their menu. We sit down to eat, and I took off Aidenne's shirt so she wouldn't get pizza all over it. (I know, I know, it's weird to make your child eat naked, but get over it, I hate having to pre-treat all of her clothes.)

So she eats about 1/8 of the pizza, and decides she wants to have her mandarin oranges then. I tell her to eat more pizza first. (Why? I don't know, looking back it seems silly since mandarin oranges are way more healthy than pizza, but whatever.) She starts crying, so we just ignore her and keep eating. Finally her cry turns into just a pout, so I look at her and she says "I'm pretty sad" and puts on her best frown face. To which I am trying my best not to crack up laughing (because she hates that). So I say, "You're pretty sad?"
"Yeah."
Cliff and I try to just carry on normal conversation and not laugh at her. Then she said, "Mommy can I get down?" and I said "Yes, you may" and proceeded to help her down from her chair. Then, with her voice still wimpery and pouty, she says "Can I have my shirt?"

I guess you just had to be there to see her devastated face at the fact that she couldn't have those oranges, and also that her mom was making her eat naked again. Poor thing! I tell you, it's tough being 2...

Wild. My dad made me take my shirt off at the dinner table, too. But that was at least three months ago...
