Being a Chick

How can a beautiful, charming 7 year old girl go from a beautiful, charming 7 year old one minute and turn into a screaming harridan the next? Cause she's a chick. That's my husband's explanation, anyway. The kid is fine one second and boy, look at her cross eyed and she's fucking flipping out. Ex drops her off last night after their weekly dinner and the dog I think sniffed her sock or something and I got a tantrum out of it - tears, yelling, the whole bit "the dog looked at me!" and he stands there because of course she's bloody perfect with him at all times, I always get stuck with her shit....and he's all "be nice to your mother" and "is this new" and and I'm like "dipshit, she does this EVERY SINGLE TIME you drop her off". And has done it for the last 7 years you fuckingasswipe. She has to be on her 100% absolute best behavior with you so when she comes home she likes to make a stink about it.

So I do what I always do - I chugged my wine, took her outside and ran it out of her. She was perfect the rest of the evening.
