No, I did NOT say that!
OMG! What did you say to me?
My daughter and I were driving in the car having a jolly old time, singing songs and having a nice mother-daughter bonding moment on our way to the nail salon. All of a sudden, while I was belting out the song “Holiday” by Madonna, my daughter said,
Zip it, Mom!”
– Miranda, age 4
I practically slammed on my brakes, glared at my daughter through the rear view mirror, and asked her, “What did you just say to me?!”
Daughter: Zip it.
Me: Who says, “Zip it!”? Because I know I don’t say “Zip it” to you. So tell me… Where did you hear that from?
I was so angry and had to contain myself and save my anger for the person who she heard that from. I patiently waited for her answer.
Daughter: I heard it from your show, Ugly Betty.
Shame faced, I continue to drive. Oh dear! This is all MY fault.

I know how you feel. I starting to hear “Go away” from my daughter. I say that to her when she is fighting me on everything and I need at least a foot between us. I’m thinking I need to figure out some other way to say it. 🙂
