Violet the Imitator

Today the weather was gorgeous.  Spring was in full effect.  When Christie picked Violet up from preschool, she decided that it was windows down time.

Violet complained.  "Mom, my hair is blowing in my face.  Mom, I don't want all the air."

It was just too nice a day, after the long winter, to seal the nice day out, even if it meant placating a cranky Violet.  "Sorry, Violet, it's windows down time," she said and turned up the radio.  Christie decided to take the long way around the reservoir, to have a few more minutes of fresh air and something nice to look at on the drive.

"Mom, you're being a bad listener," Violet said.

Basically, Violet went through all of the phrases we use to try to get her to listen to us.

"This is not good behavior," Violet yelled over and over.

She might have tried to assign Christie a time-out, but the window was open and the radio was too loud....
