But this morning Laura said she had a headache, and asked if I would pick her up right after math. (I know. Even with a headache, she didn't want to miss math. It boggles my mind.)
So I did.
When I picked her up she said she still had a headache, but seemed chipper enough.
So on the way home we stopped at the market to pick up a few groceries.
I asked her to help me carry in the bags. She grumbled for a moment, but did so. And on the way into the house from the garage, she began to chatter about her plans for the day.
So while I put away the groceries, I asked Laura to start emptying the dishwasher.
Laura sighed and said, "I don't think you could survive on your own. It's a good thing you have a sick little child here to help you."

Tell her the headache might go away if she widened the slits on her mask : )
Does her head hurt because the mask is too tight?
Oooh!
What interesting times you have ahead of you when she reaches teenagerhood!
It's good that you have lawyers in the family. That girl is pure adventure.
I LOVE my GR pottery!
Ah, the old guilt trip!
If they only knew how capable and independent we were before being blessed with their presence!
That smart little girl keeps you on your toes!
Too cute! Hope she feels better soon!
I have a whole houseful of kids that feel the same way.
You're doing something right!
there are so many things i don't understand about this post. beginning with "after math" and ending with grocery shopping with only two people and in the middle there somewhere, a person wanting to go to disneyland on her birthday. or, um, ever.
I LIKE HER! Just enough sass, which I'm sure she got from you.
xo!
I only have one word for you (well, Laura really): Mensa.
Even while under the weather, little ill Laura can throw a zinger. Feel better soon, Laura!
*snort*
She's hawt.
Uh, oh. That only means one thing...
She is too much. Sometimes we create monsters...;D
That's just why we continue having children around here, to help with the chores. That's what mine all believe.
You omitted your witty, sarcastic response, care to fill us in? Or where you truly speechless?
Let's bring back spanking! (kidding)
That's one smart little lady!!
See, it would be math that would actually GIVE me the headache in the first place.
My sick girl in bed looks pretty helpless by comparison. I love it when they quip.
And she's right, isn't she? :)
Henry thought this was a very funny post. But but it is driving him crazy that he can't figure out who the mask is? Power Ranger? Relative of Lilo's Stitch? Nacho Libre? Please solve the mystery. It is giving me a headache. So does math by the way.
Whoa! She's got some sort of really bad rash there. I'd start with cold compresses and then maybe some salve. Is there an outbreak of that at school?
Poor little overworked sick girl. LOL
I sure could use a sick child to help me out ;)
Smart-ass kids.
Where on earth does that 'tude come from??
So I have decided that when I come to San Diego on thursday, I need to meet my new Aunt *you* and meet my awesome sassy cousin *laura*.
so can you work that out for me?
Hahaha!! Little sass! :)
That made me laugh out loud. Thanks!! I needed that! :o)
She's awesome!!! Love the photo!
When I grow up, can I be Laura?
LOL! Classic!
I swear, your kid is the funniest!
My daughter didn't care about math so much even though she's brilliant at it, but last year she passed out in gym and asked the nurse not to call me into she had gone to band. Shockingly, the nurse agreed.
awesome! Yep, I'm sure you couldn't get along without her ;)
Oh, the sass! I love it!
