“Ok. Now pay attention, Jay. My people are set up over here and your people are set up
over there. If your people break the rules then my people can sue your people.”
“Wait a second, Anna. I have no idea what suing is.”
“Well, Jay. It means that my people can take all of your people’s money.”
“Anna, that just sounds like stealing to me.”
“No, Jay. It’s not stealing. It’s suing and it’s legal.”
Anna-12 & Jay-9

What’s her hourly rate?
A tube of lip gloss and the promise of a new cell phone before she hits high school…the current phone is mortifying.
Kids see our world so clearly.
Their take on life often makes me wipe the cobwebs from my eyes.
it’s kids like Anna keeping me in a job…. love it!
She’s a master manipulator. I wish I had her gift.
She work on retainer?
She’d prefer a retainer over the braces we’re forcing her to get this year.
what great lessons we teach our kids….sigh
Makes me consider moving to the country and homeschooling…for a split second and then I have an anxiety attack.
I’m a tad embarrassed to admit I learn more from your kids than I do the nightly news.
They’re good. Reeeeeal good.
Yesterday, I was taught that the Great Wall of China was built to keep the Russians out. Silly me, I thought it was a runway for the aliens from outer space.
I need to look into this suing method. Working certainly isn’t putting anything into the bank.
Let me know what you find out because I’d like a new wardrobe for spring.
Hence the title of your blog!
Wouldn’t you love to be 12 again? I’d sue my parents for making me grow-up.
Priceless.
What’s her take on paying taxes?
Maybe lawyers should wear mugger masks. Let’s put on our lawyer masks, get our lawyer pistols and sue the bank!
She thinks taxes are “a bunch of crap!” How can she be expected to pay taxes and afford to build her music collection on iTunes?
I agree with whatimeant2say. I’m always open to new methods of enrichment.
…especially if I don’t have to lift a finger doing it.
Vote Anna for president!!!!
She’d agree with you and then convince you to do all of her campaigning .
And Jay learns why women don’t stay in kitchen anymore.
She prefers to order out.
Suing is leagal. *Sigh*
I think it should be legal to sue your family members for not replacing the toilet paper roll. If you could, I’d be rich.
it’s the ‘Murrican way. continue…
I’m in favor of lawsuits for not putting the toilet seat down.
Legal stealing. That’s about it.
I’d like to sue whoever keeps stealing the last bit of ice cream and then has the nerve to put the empty container back in the freezer. I’m going for millions!
Kids need to be taught early that there’s a legal or socially acceptable cover for just about every bad behavior. You’re lucky they’ve realized this at such a young age. This will give them a head start when competing against others.
I’m in favor of suing my children for putting their clean clothes in the dirty laundry.
HA! I wish my law school classes had discussed this (or any legal other matter) with such clarity!
You’d be impressed with the way she defended her eye rolling at dinner last night…
“I swear! I wasn’t rolling my eyes. I have a problem with eyelashes falling in my eyes. I might need to go to the doctor. It could be serious…I might die!”
Hahaha…
oh! Ouch! Slip and laugh! Slip and laugh!
Now, you’ve got me thinking maybe spilling all that conditioner on the floor of the shower wasn’t an accident! She’s out for my money.
Looks like Anna has it all worked out. Be very careful to ensure she has no around the house accidents or she could take you for all you’ve got
I thought it was odd when she asked to see our bank statement the other day.
She has some fine ideas me thinks?
Androgoth Xx
I can’t keep up with all her fine ideas. It’s exhausting!
