Shit my daughter says

I was trying to help get my daughters dressed for the day.  As usual they both claimed that they needed help.  Not surprising for my 5 year old daughter but my 8 year old should be able to achieve the task herself.

So I slog into my 5 year old daughter's room and ask her if she needs any help.  She responds "yes Daddy!" with the tone of voice that said "of course you dumbass, isn't that what I just asked?"

So I rifle through her closet and come out with a very cute skirt that I bought her when I was on a business trip to Texas.  It is a jean skirt with pink bandana ruffles and a matching pink shirt with an image of cowgirl boots on the front- a cute western outfit just perfect for a 5 year old girly girl which is exactly what my daughter is.

I presented the skirt and shirt to her and asked "What about this?"

She looked directly at me an sternly said with the air of a teenager, "Daddy, you aren't helping."

I aske her "so darling, what can I do to help you?"

She replied without skipping a beat or having to think, "You can leave my room."
