My Little Trouble

Short attention span she brings 
When she is getting into everything 
She doesn't like her matchbox truck
Looks like mama is outta luck 
Turn on tv to watch blues clues 
She starts playing with daddy's shoes 
Mama needs a deserved break 
Oh no, she just spilt her strawberry shake 

Trouble, trouble, my girl's trouble 
Making all of my chores double 
She counts to ten, says her ABC's 
You couldn't tell she's almost three 
She wants out, she wants in 
Mama can't cry, she can only grin 
She is rough , she is tumble 
She is meek, she is humble 

Take a deep breath mama chill 
Daughter will do what she will 
There is no stopping this tornado 
Better release and let her go 
The cat in the hat doll in the sink 
She colored the coffee table pink 
Oh goodness mama better smile 
Cleaning the house will take a while 
But there is fun to be had today 
If mama gives up and just wants to play

Yep, can sure identify as the one who watches my 2 yr. old granddaughter. She gets away with murder and her parents wonder why she never seems to want to go home! I enjoyed this.

Have you tried hanging her upside down in a closet, that worked for me. Not for long, a few days no more.
