My Daughter Thinks I’m a Magician

Do your kids think that too?

Whenever Tee wants to watch a TV programme of HER choice, like Barney or Noddy or Baby Einstein or High 5 or The Wiggles or Teletubbies or Thomas…….she will ask me for it. All well and good if the programme is on and I can silence her with the remote control. One click of a button. YES!

But if it ISN’T??? MAN!!!

Mummy, I want watch Barney! Mummy…Mummy, I want watch Barney!? X a zillion trillion million times.

She truly and sincerely believes I can just zap up her demands in an instant. ABACADABRAH!!!

With such earnestness, how can one refuse? So I do one of two things:

Squeeze creative juice out of my brain cells (whatever’s left of it) and come up with an even MORE exciting thing to do than watch an ugly purple dinosaur….

Shout “STOP IT RIGHT NOW!” at the top of my voice.

(I also get this in the car while driving when she wants the song of HER choice and I don’t have the CD nor a CD changer. And the food of HER choice when it’s not in kitchen, nor the living room, nor the bedroom, nor hidden in the roof. And this list goes on forever.)
