The Power of the Middle Name...

So as we all know when you are in trouble as a child you always get "middle named". This tradition has been carried out in my house as well..."Lillian Shaye, I said stop banging on that.." or "Lillian Shaye, stop trying to tie up your sister." etc, etc...So the other day I took something away from Lily, I believe it was a pencil, and she got very upset with me and told me to put it down. When I informed her that she was not to speak to me that way she said "Mommy Shaye...put it down!" I had to turn my head the other way so that I didn't laugh right in front of her!!! Lily has found the power of the middle name, but doesn't realize that she can't exercise that power until she has her own kids. :)
