The Bad List

Ellis is at that age where she needs to keep track of everyone who gets in trouble at our house. Though now that I think about it, it’s not an age thing at all. She just likes to monitor and judge every one around. Later, this will be called “being confidently assertive” or “a huge pain in the butt” depending on your perspective.

She made this chart:

NOTE: She started out with two “bad” marks because she wouldn’t help clean up her mess in the living room.

Also, Carrie (or “Cannie” depending on how you see the chart) didn’t really have any marks and neither did Reha ("Mom").

And Ellis’ bad marks got circled, because “once they are circled, they aren’t bad marks any more.”

I’m not telling why I got a bad mark. I’ll just say this: Totally worth it.

  1. Some of my favorite people are confidently assertive, pains in the butt.

  2. Also, I read this entire post. And not just because we talked about it this weekend. I love Ellis posts.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
