Overachiever

It seems my ponytail-making abilities have gone by the wayside, if you ask my daughter.  These days I'm always missing her targeted bulls-eye of the "perfect" spot.  "Mom, that's too high...that's too low.....too much to the side....that stinks, Mom...."

Blah, blah, blah, blah..... yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard you the first time Debbie Downer.

This morning I told her she was high maintenance and she responded with a sincere, "Thank you." 

I stared at her quizzically and she said, "Wait.  Is that an achievement?" 

"If it is," I said, "then you are an over-achiever, my dear."  DUH--WINNING!
