A mother stripped of her pride!

A recent scene involving my four-year-old daughter Lauren, myself and a family friend.

Lauren: Thank you for the present...

Me: (Looking on, beaming because Lauren had just thanked the person who had given her a water bottle as a gift, without any prompting) Good job, Lauren!

Lauren: (Continuing to the gift-giver)...but it's not very much fun!

Cue the wah-wah-wah music (signifying the limpification of my pride).
