Lou: I don't think that my W's watching of "Cinderalla" gave her a sense of entitlement. I just think that she gets in these moods sometimes where she wants to make me feel stupid, and it always catches me by surprise. I don't think there's anything particularly playful about it, either. Sometimes I think she gets in a mood where she's mad at men, and I'm the closest one to take it out on.
GEL: Sometimes I can do that, but sometimes, as noted above, it just takes me by surprise and I just tell myself to stop asking her for anything at all. It's hard to be a smart azz in my sitch, sometimes.
However, I did get an opportunity last week. We were sitting down to dinner at our campsite, and, behind me, was a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. W said something like, "We (she and our DD5, sitting on the opposite side of the picnic table) sure have a beautiful view." I held my arms out wide and said, "take it all in, baby!" (BF would have been proud of me). She actually smiled.
