Toddlers are so temperamental.
When Eggy misbehaves, I ask her if she's a good girl or bad girl. If she replies, "good girl!" then I tell her to stop whining/crying/etc. If she says, "bad girl!" then I ask her if she wants a meh-meh (spanking), although I'm not even sure if she knows what meh-meh means. (I don't think I could really spank her though. Not yet anyway. Ask me again when she's throwing a fit in the middle of the market because I won't buy her Fruit Loops.) She says no so I tell her to cut it out and act like a good girl. Usually, it works. I dread the day when Eggy starts talking back to us and giving us real trouble.
Edit: This morning though, she was naughty. I don't even remember what the problem was but she was just acting like a jerk. So when I asked her if she was going to be a good girl or a bad girl, she YELLED, "BAD GIRL!" Oh no, she di'int! And when I asked her if she wanted a meh-meh, she nodded yes. Great, now what? So I carried her to the other room and she started crying. Probably because I took her away from her back-up (i.e. appah and hani). She apologized right away and we kissed and made up. But as soon as I took her back into the kitchen, she reached for my mom and started crying again. "Waaah, mommy is so mean!"
