This is a new one! This past week, whenever I've been frustrated with my kids (like when they push and fight, or when they cram pennies into my car cd player so that it no longer works!) Marina has come out with a new line: "Mommy, are you mean?"
I'm trying to understand what she means by that. Does she mean, "are you mad?" Or does she mean, "are you being mean to us now?" Hmm...I haven't quite figured it out yet. But I do know that it certainly makes me step back at that moment and view my actions and my tone of voice through their eyes. What an enlightening experience that is.
