Naomi has discovered the joy of a standard response. Of course, the response she’s chosen is a bit over the top, but perhaps she’ll refine it over time. For now, though, any time she’s corrected or thwarted, here’s what she says:
“Nobody loves me anymore.”
Then she turns away and sulks.
I’m actually at a loss as to where she got this. Maybe she came up with it on her own. I don’t know, but when she asked to be excused and we told her to eat a bit more first, that’s what she said. When I told her not to put her feet in other people’s faces, that’s what she said. When I asked her to go to the bathroom and then insisted that she go when she tried to resist (I am the Potty Ninja, you know), that’s what she said.
She doesn’t seem to actually believe this statement at other times, so in her world, her family goes quickly from loving to not loving several times a day. It would be exhausting to keep up with if it were actually true, I’m sure.
