special Witch

So special that I can't stand it. Here's the scene....Lion wants new iPod Nano Video, child already has iPod Nano that she got for her bday just over a year ago, BOTH parents agree that Lion will not be getting iPod for Christmas. TinMan gets iPod Nano Video from his grandma. Children go to their mothers, Scarecrow's sister gets iPod Nano Video....child gets Wii and several other gifts but no iPod....child spends FOUR hours on Christmas day crying (REAL TEARS) about NOT getting iPod for Christmas. Lion comes back to our house, treats Scarecrow meanly in the car because she wanted the ipod and her sister got it, Lion pouts off and on part of the day. Lion gets 'better' as the week goes on and enjoys her other gifts. Lion goes back to Witches, Witch has taken back TWO gifts because said Lion got them at our house and tries justify to Wizard that it was ok to go buy Lion the ipod nano video with returned gift money because Wizard said that Lion could buy it with HER money....Witch twists that to mean 'return gifts, buy nano for Lion....thus showing her that crying for FOUR hours on christmas day ='s getting what you want....and trust me she ALWAYS gets what she wants....begged Witch for a puppy for 3 months until she finally gave in, got the puppy in July...said puppy now lives at the Humane Society because Witch couldn't handle its 'puppiness' or clothing...all the clothing she wants...from June until November when she got her last WebKinz.....she had 27....at $12/each.

Now what is so beautiful about this whole situation is there are two daughters; one is alot like her mom...NEEDS everything, the other is more down to earth and a little more cautious when it comes to people, the latter daughter got the ipod nano for Christmas it was her 'big' gift and it was also the FIRST time in her 7 years that she had something her sister didn't have 'first'....if you're not an only child (like me...my brother is 13...he counts but doesn't) you understand the importance of having something all your own....this was her turn but Witch ruined it and didn't give it a thought...didn't even think that she was teaching her daughter that if you bug, beg and cry long enough eventually it will be yours...nope not at all......what's even better I think about this whole thing is...I think Witch did it not only to give Lion what she wanted but...to also get Wizard's attention. She hasn't had a good tongue lashing or argument with him in a few weeks and Witch likes his attention, she thinks that until he and I are married there's still a chance that it won't happen and they can go back to their 'happy' divorced lives.....just how special is she?
