I have never really been a jealous person by nature.
I mean, of course I have had my moments (who hasn't), but generally speaking I have never really wanted what someone else has. I have always been happy with my life and what I have.
Until now.
I see babies using sippy cups and I am jealous.
I am. I'm big enough to admit that.
I am jealous of the moms who made it happen.
Why can't I make it happen?
What am I doing wrong?
Oh, sippy...why won't Frankie love you?
It's my only "thing" with Frankie. Everything else--no problem--it will happen when it happens but I'm all about the sippy cup thing happening now. For some reason, it is both my obsession and nemesis: The Sippy Cup.
Yeah, yeah, yeah...Frankie will do it when she's ready (like everything else). I know, I know.
Doesn't help.
Why isn't she doing it NOW? She's 14 months old. Now isn't good?
It's good for me. Not good for her??
Yes, I've tried all the different brands out there.
Yes, I've tried other things besides water.
Yes, I put cranberry juice in the vodka to dilute it a bit.
I have done it all!
She hates the sippy.
I feel bad for the sippy.
This is what it contends with being around Frankie:
Oh, Sippy Cup
Oh, Sippy Cup
Oh, Sippy Cup
Be gone from my life
You're a royal pain in the butt
Mommy shoves you in my face
I push you away
She just doesn't get it...
I will never cave
I picked you up once
It was a tease
I just wanted to show
That I can do it with ease
I only like milk
And bottles are the only way
Keep comin' at me, sippy--
I will make you pay
I will throw you to the ground
You won't spill, but it will hurt
Sometimes you will hit tile
Somtimes you will hit dirt
I will never give up the bottle
You can fly me to the moon
Don't think I won't take it there
And on my freakin' honeymoon
Oh, yeah--bottles rule
Sippy cups suck
You can keep trying
I don't really give a &%#$
(Nice mouth, Frankie).
