I meant what I said, and I said what I meant!
You may be somewhat familiar with my now 11-year-old daughter, who has been going on 15 ever since she was five.
Her favorite response to me--no matter what I ask of her--is this: "One sec."
You may imagine this grows tiresome as seconds roll into minutes and minutes roll into...well, you know.
Which is what prompted the following exchange that took place recently in a somewhat public place:
Me: "L~ come here NOW, please."
~L: "One sec!"
Me: loudly and emphatically "NO MORE SECS!"
You coulda heard a pin drop.

This is priceless.........
Do you ever do that to her? "In a sec" her next time she wants you to drive her somewhere :)
The first couple days of my . I'm not the happiest. Jack was doing soemthing that annoyed me and I said, "That's getting on my nerves!" He asked, "What's nerves?" Ummm...
Oh, and I loved the photo of your two boys' rooms--so wonderfully contrasting side by side, down to the rowed-up shoes and all!
Guess what? You're going to be the next Young Women president in your ward.
(And Lorien, I love your comment. I also want some follow-up and further details on this post . . . .)
Hushed silence. Then all eyes turned to me. I think she got confused with being a VIR-GO.
"NO MORE SECS!!"
p.s. I absolutely love the VIRGIN story EWBL.
No, Janey, (snort) it's not "penis."
True story, or at least so I've heard. Next YW President nothin--I'm voting on Primary Pres for you!
That's the best story I've heard in FOREVER! Poor you! I want more details too!
But L~ (who, incidentally just asked me if she could read my blog--the answer was no!) was embarrassed.
I was not a bit.
I'm still laughing.
Has it curbed her tendency to put me off? Not a bit.
Your collective church stories are too funny.
Sharing Time has definitely become much more interesting since last time I was in Primary!
Lance (at the door, car keys in hand): C'mon, Axel, we're late!
Axel (grooming himself at the vanity): Just a sec!
Lance: There's no time to wait!
Axel: Okay, half a sec!
Lance: We're running late...and you want to halve secs?!
...no worries sistah!
As for your shouting of "no more" ... after I did my best to control the pants-wetting, I realized this phrase is not so funny for some of us. No matter how you spell it.
It wouldn't have been pretty, that's for sure.
