So I've mentioned my ADHD/ODD child who drives me berserk pretty much every day she's awake. It's even worse in the summer because there is nothing to keep her busy for long periods of time. But her favorite thing to do right now is play outside in the little pool and sprinklers. It's crazy hot here right now and so the other day I offered to put sunscreen on her. She replied, "I don't need it; it's not that hot." I figured, fine; let her learn the lesson of no sunscreen=really bad sunburn herself.
A few hours later, I offered again, "Are you sure you don't want on any sunscreen. You're gonna get a sunburn." Again, she quipped, "Mom, the sun is behind the clouds now. I don't need it!" Fine. You'll learn by the end of the day, I thought to myself.
By the end of the day, all she was, was tanned. On the other hand, the other kids that I completely slathered in sunscreen? Both got sunburned. Pretty bad. Is this karma's idea of a joke? Because I don't find it funny at all. All it did was prove, once again, that she is right and I am wrong. And that she knows everything. Karma can kiss my ass.
