conversations and one unhappy incident

first for the cute conversation we had the other night with mad.

she wanted a movie night. we told her, "no."
later that evening, she wanders downstairs and said, "God made movie nights to make people happy."
we told her , "no" again.
to which she replied, "you are making God sad."
"go to bed"

now for the not so cute incident involving em: on thursday we went to visit a friend who broke her leg. while driving home i told em, "head straight up stairs and start your history class. it's getting late."
she replied, "no"
not a wise response in our house. so i ammended my instruction to, "go straight to your room and after we're through talking you'll finish school."
she didn't say a word and went straight upstairs when we got home. but before she went upstairs, she locked the door between the house and the garage. did i mention mad and i went to get the mail? did i mention i didn't have my house key? after knocking and ringing the bell for several minutes, i walked to the back door and started pounding. she came running down the stairs laughing. she opened the door and was sent right back up stairs. later i walked past the front door and noticed she blocked it with the piano bench.
to say the least, em has had a very un-fun weekend.

She's too smart for her own good. Uncle J says if she's not careful, she might be back where she was last year. But then again, she probably got away with more there.

Wow. Sounds like it was a rough one for you! Hope things get better.
