We've all inadvertently created a monster a time or two in our lives. We let a kid take a taste of a perfect ice cream, for example, and all of a sudden we have to share it forever and ever amen. I've made that sort of mistake enough times to know to be very cautious before sharing something I enjoy with the girls.
Alexis has learned her lesson this week. I hope.
I don't know what made Alexis think to show Mila a Spice Girls video, but she did. That led to another video and a lesson about who is who and ZOMG NOW IT IS ALL MILA WILL TALK ABOUT. For about a week now, Mila has spent every possible moment watching Spice Girls music videos, learning lyrics, and talking about how much she likes this Spice Girl or that one. Baby Spice is "pretty" for example, but Mila has no time for Posh Spice.
At this very moment, Mila is laying on top of Alexis demanding "Spice videos" but Alexis has no interest but haaaaa! Good luck with that, kid. Mila can demand the same thing for hours on end. It is her one and only duty in life to be annoying and she does it very well.
"Spice videos."
"I want Spice videos."
"Mom, sissy won't let me watch Spice videos!"
This has been going on for half an hour at this point and shows no sign of stopping. I super hope Alexis has learned her lesson because I have had quite enough of Tiny Spice making demands.
