Today my youngest wild animal had to learn a hard lesson. We were planning to go see "Kung Fu Panda" in honor of her recent enrollment to Tae Kwon Do and we had only 30 min. to get home, shower, dress and get out the door to make the show. Seeing Miss Alex playing in the tub, a brief reminder of our schedule was mentioned with the additional statement from Dad that, "If she doesn't get ready and we can't be there before it starts, we just won't go today." For some reason (probably our own fault of past examples) she thought we were bluffing. So when she finally found shoes and for whatever reason, a cute backpack, she came strolling down the stairs as if we had all day. ( I remember hearing that exact example coming from my mother once...or 400 thousand times) "Oops! It's too late to leave now Miss Alex, you took too long getting ready." her dad said.
You should have seen the look. Kind of like- "yeah right, ha ha jokes over folks,lets go." I was proud of her daddy for sticking to his guns even though I was hugely disappointed at missing the show. I was really looking forward to seeing that panda kick some booty!
