I learned a painful lesson at the hand of my middle child last night ...For most of her birthday's she has endured a good natured Birthday "spanking" - you know the one smack for each year ... The usual routine is her screaming with delight as she is chased through the house, and when the actual "spanking" happens it is inflicted on a wiggling, giggling whirlwind ... a couple of the "smacks" may strike the target ... most just miss.
But the lesson dear old dad learned from Ms H last night was that her tenacity (we called her Lava when she was a pre-toddler and Noahkila would build barricades to keep his toys safe from her ... she was only thwarted, and never stopped !!!) has given rise to an astounding ability to lie in wait for her moment of revenge ...
Last night just before her bed time she delivered on her father's posterior a 40 smack Birthday Spanking!!! AND none of them were gentle "love taps" ... SHE HIT HARD !!!
So, today in addition to nursing a still sore posterior, I also am nursing an admiration for Ms H and her tenacious nature ... I hope it never fails her !!
