Drama queen

Daughter: Dad, my friend told me I'm a drama queen.
Me: That sounds about right.
Daughter: OH MY GOSH YOU HATE ME!!
I couldn't stop laughing while she stormed out of the kitchen. I apologized after lunch (but seriously) and explained a few things. My lovely and talented wife is away on business for the week. So... we're off to a good start. :-)

One picked up a “Dairy Queen” logo shirt that had “Drama” instead of dairy. “Look how cute this is! You’d totally look good in it!” “WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING I’M A DRAMA QUEEN? MOOOOOOOM! Mom can you believe it? I mean really! Who’s the REAL Drama Queen? SHE IS! THIS IS SO NOT FAIR!” By this time the whole store was laughing their heads off. No one had said a word after the first “You’d look cute..” After that it was all her show. girls.
