Why I should not be a mother YET...

I had my 9 year old niece over for the weekend. We are in no way related she belongs to is my dear friend's daughter but I would love her just the same if she were my real niece. She is a darling...

In the grocery store

Baby: Auntie Tarie, when are you getting married?
ME: Why are you asking, who sent you to ask me that question??
Baby: I am just asking, I had nothing else to say.

She wants me to be one of these

In the Salon

Baby: Auntie Tarie, you are just sitting there looking at me getting my hair done but your hair could do with some help too.
Me: WHAT, my hair looks just fine (checking self in mirror)

On the way home

Baby: Auntie Tarie which church are we going to tomorrow?
Me: Which one do you want to go to? (I was expecting her to say Catholic)
Baby: I don't want to go, lets rest tomorrow

And so we rested...

We had a fabulous weekend

We played dress up, I really should have taken a picture.
We modeled, yes we did.
We did homework, list all the African countries. Thank you Auntie Google.
We danced
We laughed
We played tennis

So, how did this weekend prove to me that I am not ready to be a parent. the evidence is below

• The only meal she finished was greasy take away, the healthy meals were eaten in halves
• I can not confidently say that she brushed her teeth on Sunday, I am not 100% sure
• She had alot of sweets and bubblegum but only half an apple
• She drank no water the entire weekend
• She watched Desperate housewives and Gossip Girl ( I am very sorry Ms Trish)

XOXO

And so I am not ready to be a mom but I sure am a kicks ass aunt, for all the wrong reasons....
