Transcript of a Love/Hate Relationship

So Abby and her Dad bicker. A lot. Yes, I live with a 33 year old man whose always willing to get into an argument with a 4 year old. Yes, it's exhausting.

Last night I found Abby hiding in her closet.

Me: What are you doing?
Abby: Hiding from Daddy.
Me: How come?
Abby: Because I don't like him.
Me: Why not?
Abby: Because he stinks and smells.
Me: He does?
Abby: Yeah and I want him to go to jail. Then I can have a new Daddy.
Me: Oh really? What new Daddy would you like?
Abby: One that's tall like a giraffe.

Cut to this morning.

Abby: Mom, I really really miss Dad. *sniff*
Me: You do?
Abby: Yes. I really do. I miss him.
Me: How come?
Abby: Because I don't want him to get lost.
Me: So you love Daddy today?
Abby: No. I don't. I only love you Mama.
