burghbaby in Premonitions and Paybacks

"Daddy is going to take me to school tomorrow," Alexis told me.

"Um, no he isn't," I retorted. Mr. Husband leaves over an hour before Alexis and I do. There isn't a reason in the world why she should be waking up at 5:30 and riding with him. That could only lead to her trying to wake up at 5:30 on the weekend. And, uh, NO.

"Yes, he is," Little Miss I'm Going to Argue With Everything You Say replied.

"No, he's really not. I'll take you to school tomorrow," I said in an annoyed tone.

"Well, I'll just put you in a cage and then Daddy can take me to school because I like Daddy," Alexis said.

I would worry about where the heck the kid got the idea that she could put me in a cage, but she later told me she ate eyeballs for lunch. I'm thinking maybe she can't be taken all that seriously these days.
