Age 10: as if you were a parent

 Date: November 20, 2006 



Perhaps due to lack of sleep, as soon as she was waken up, Tanya started complaining non-stop for no reasons and criticized us of making things crappy.  So I said,

 

 

"As if you were a parent to parent parents!" 



She instantly replied, "I can parent parents if I am Grand-parent" Tanya always enjoys this type of word games. 



"Yes, but you are not." 



"Well, I MAY parent parents if I pretend to be Grand-parent." 



"That's called pseudo-parenting" 



"What is pseudo-parenting?" 



"Pseudo-parenting is parenting when you fake a parent." 



"You got me, Dad." she smiled. As a result, she stopped "parenting".
