Morgan's moving out.



On a particular day last week Morgan, who has a "hot head" anyway, decided that because her Dad wouldn't take her to Chuck-e-cheese or to the pool that he was a "mean Daddy" and that she was moving in with the Reynas(our next door neighbors). To keep things from exploding(little did we know) Todd suggested calling the Reynas first and asking permission. During the call Morgan asked if she could move in. Joe Reyna told her that she would have to eat hamburgers and pizza every night. This was not helping! After a few minutes we tried to change the subject and move on to other things. Only 20 minutes later I found Morgan packing her suitcase. This was already going too far and Morgan was being stubborn. We really were hoping for Morgan to lose interest so that we wouldn't have to give her a flat out NO. Not happening. This went on for a couple hours. I even tried to explain that I would miss her so much and that she would miss seeing Devyn every day. She told me that she would come visit her. By this time things had really been built up. Under normal circumstances she can tend to be very dramatic.....now that things had gone too far we were going to have an explosion(the very thing we tried to avoid in the first place). Finally I just told her that she was not moving to the Reynas, she was not moving out and I did NOT want to hear her talk about it again! There was lots of screaming/whaling and crying. It took the rest of the evening for her to settle down. That suitcase remained packed for two more days.
