Rockstarism #326/ Miss-Speak #20: The Blame Game

#326/ #20

This is how blaming works in this household…

Rockstar bursts into the room with a giant huff…

Rockstar: Mum. This time the blaming thing is much worse! She didn’t just (throw something and say ‘No, Ko-ko’), she said, “You stop it ah Rockstar… Don’t ah…” 

(From now-open door I can hear cheerful gabbling)

Me (Calling to Miss through the door): Ko-ko says you did something naughty.

Miss: <Cheerfully> Hi, Mummy!

Me: (Trying not to laugh) No one believes her anyway. Which she also knows, she just does it because she gets such a rise from you. What did she throw?

Rockstar: Charlie and Lola (small, soft cover) book. I am not. Going. Out there!

Me: (Calling out to Miss) You being naughty again, aren’t you.

Miss: <cheerfully> Hi, Mummy.

Me: Are you annoying Ko-ko again?

Rockstar: (still huffy) Ask her, Mum, why she does these things.

Me:Why d’you keep doing that, to get Ko-ko’s attention?

Miss: HEE HEE HEE <mock serious look complete with waggly finger at Rockstar standing next to me> No throwing ah!

Me (to Rockstar): Y-eah. You’re going to have to stop rewarding her with a reaction if you really want her to stop. Somehow she’s discovered that’s the best way to get a reaction from you.

Rockstar: <momentarily impressed> That’s actually pretty smart.But so notti! No! Notti!

Me: You’re a clever girl, right? You like being a good clever girl?

Miss: No thank you.

Matching Noses though..

    Miss Rockstar is so smart and so cute, she knows what buttons to push on Rockstar to get a reaction from him. 😀

    Happy weekend to all of you!

    Oh how I wish you could get a video of Miss Rockstar doing that and post it up 🙂 It would be so adorable! I love reading about your kids…

      I wish I could video too 🙁 it’s currently very hard to video esp her because she stops doing whatever she’s doing and demands the phone, it’s often LOUD, and after a large number of cracks on the screen (yeah she throws phones a la naomi campbell too) I’ve had to put on a bulky everything-proof case or else will be changing iPhones (insured!) like no tomorrow 😛
