The Ugliest Word

No.

Yep, that's it.  No is the probably the UGLIEST word that you can say to me.

Because if you tell me no, I'm going to ask why.  If you tell me no, I'm going to try harder.  If you tell me no, I'm going to be relentless in trying to find a way to make you say yes.

I'll wear you down.  I'll push when you pull.  I have a four year old, a three year old, and an 18 month old. I walk six miles a day pushing 100 pounds.  I was raised by Catholic parents in Catholic school.  I can totally take you on.  I have superhuman stamina when it comes to getting my way.

So go ahead.  I dare you.  Tell me that you won't let me do something I want to do or that I can't have something my way.  Bring it, baby.  Because I can guarantee that I'll outlast you... especially when it comes to fighting for something that I believe in.

Love, hugs, and blessings,
The Mama

(Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with The Husband.  He's an angel who unquestionably supports my every whim... because let's face it, he knows better than to tell me "NO" by now.)
