Conversations with my Daughter: Naughtiness

Sorry daddy.

Have you done something wrong angel?

No.

That’s OK then. You only say sorry when you’ve been naughty.

Oh. Ok. … Daddy?

Yes Reya?

Have you been naughty?

Not today.

Not today?

Nope.

Have you ever been naughty?

Well… yes.

Did you say sorry?

Sometimes.

Only sometimes?

Umm, yeah.

That’s naughty, daddy.

I guess so.

(singing) Daddy’s been naughty. Daddy’s been naughty. Daddy’s…

That’s enough Reya.

(still singing) DADDY’S BEEN NAUGHTY. DADDY’S BEEN…

REYA!

Yes daddy.

If you keep that up you’ll go straight to the naughty step. Understand?

Sorry daddy.

Cute, and you are soooo going to have your hands full, lol.

Not wrong there Ron, Mate. Not looking forward to the next 16-odd years....

Uh, it doesn't end at the age of consent, Pat, that's just where it gets a lot more frustrating, because you have no control, lol.

Quite true Ron, but that's when I'm sending her to the convent. After that she's the Mother Superior's problem.

A real little girl who has Daddy wrapped around her little finger it sounds like. :)

Yeah, sometimes, Betty. Depends what mood I'm in :-)
Right now she is having a loud sulk because daddy won't get out her princess costume.

Thanks for posting to the Gather Writing Essential group.

I hope to see more of your work each day using the prompts given by the member editors.

Will do Connie. Probably should not have posted this is in GWE as it wasn't to theme, but I was spamming my groups. I'll pay more attention next time :-)
