Mama For Sale!

Yesterday Darcy and I were having an epic battle of the wills over creeping and crawling.  I knew if I lost the battle, I was losing the whole summer/war.  I stayed very calm and told her the consequences for not participating and why it was in her best interest to get started with the other kids.... 

I hear Darcy whispering to Beckett.  I have no idea what they are talking about.  Darcy finishes whispering, looks over at me and says:

"We decided that we're getting rid of you, by a garage sale." 

Me: You're getting rid of me?
Darcy: Yes, go outside.  We're selling you at a garage sale and its today.
Me: Who is going to buy me?
Darcy, getting a sneaky smile on her face: Strangers!
(she says this in a whisper because everyone knows that strangers are terrifying, and it is giving her pleasure to make me sweat at the prospect of being purchased by "strangers")
Darcy: Now go outside and stand on the driveway!  Now!

For the record, I asked Beckett if he wanted to sell me too and he replied "NO!!".  So at least one of my kids likes me.  I don't think Gwen wants to sell me either, at least not yet : )
