In the "spirit" of the spirited children thread, let's hear some of the crap the older kids pull.
This is from last night:
My 3 year old uses pee as a weapon. Whenever she's angry at us (if we do something offensive like make lunch, fold laundry, etc.) she pees on the floor. Yesterday she peed on the carpet while looking at me with a giant smile on her face. At the end of my rope, I told her that she must be a puppy because big girls don't do that. I made her clean it up and then told her to pick up the towel.
DD1: No! You do it!
Me: I'm not doing it, I didn't pee on the floor. Pick up the towel little puppy.
DD1: I can't. Dogs can't pick things up.

Re: Shit my kid says/does (s/o spirited kids)
Her: "My feet are getting wet!"
Me: "Next time don't wear flats when it's raining, sweetie. Wear your boots." (She refused this advice beforehand).
Her: "I didn't know it was going to rain! I'm not a weatherman!!"
Her latest thing is complaining that it's not fair that she doesn't get to do whatever she wants, but adults can. I keep telling her to get a job and money and a car and her own place and she can do whatever she wants.
St Patricks day really annoyed her because she couldn't decide what color everyone wore. She would rather they wear orange. She's very disappointed she can't control the world.
Hilarious coming from such a little person

1. She was messing up my room, and when I asked what she was doing and why she said she was ruining my room because she wanted it ruined like hers. When I asked her to stop she said she wanted to go live with messy strangers.
2. I kicked her out of my room this morning for whining & being loud. Before she left she asked me why I'm so grumpy with her.
3. She has been super defiant lately so I asked her last night what was going on she said "I don't know what to tell you." When I told her to just tell the truth she said, "I just feel like misbehaving."
He has also started the deceptive phase. Blaming the cat, his sister, and even went so far as to switch my empty oatmeal bowl with his full one after being told he couldn't have anything else until he ate his oatmeal. Had to suppress the laughter during that one. He is a clever little sneak.

DD1 has some great one liners "you just don't understand me" "that's not a good choice mommy" "I never sleep, I never get tired"
