Josie's sass has become it's own language. The tone, the eye roll, the phrases. I can't believe such things are coming from the mouth of my 5 year old daughter.
Despite what you might think, it's not an easy language to learn. There's a very distinct way things need to be said. Just telling your mom "I'm done with this," in the middle of a lecture isn't enough. You have to hold your hand a certain why and leer both eyes with complete disgust.
Today, I decided enough was enough.
"Josie, you cannot talk like that any more," I told her while we sat together on the couch.
"I just like to speak Italian," she said.
"Josie, that's not Italian. That's obnoxious."
"Sorry," she said. Had I finally made a break through?! "I just like to speak Obnoxious"
I should be proud. She's only 5 and she's already fluent in another language.
