Craziness

It was a Thursday night, after eight and I was picking Ariana up from dance.  She was sitting in the car with me waiting for Julia to get out of her class when she says to me, "You are going to be really mad at me but I have a science BA tomorrow."  I asked her if she studied for it and she said no.  I then asked her when she found out about it and she replied, Monday.  I asked her why she didn't study for it and she said, "Because I didn't feel like studying."  I asked her why she was telling me now because she was obviously not planning on studying for it.  She said because she was going to study when she was in bed tonight and she didn't want dad and I yelling at her to stop reading and turn out her light.  She knew she was going to get caught and decided she should just tell me now so I wouldn't get as mad.  I couldn't believe she did this.  She always does her homework.  I don't have to check up on her.  She does her work.  When we got home we did some cramming and studied all that we could.  When it was then 9:30pm I told her she had to go to bed and that we would study more in the morning.

When I was tucking her in bed she told me she was stinky and needed a shower.  It was almost 10pm, two hours past her bedtime!  I was really mad now.  She didn't study for her test when she was suppose to and now she needed a shower and was going to be in bed even later.

During her shower Trevor and I were in the bathroom brushing our teeth and getting ready for bed.  I told Ariana it was important that she showers every other day.  So she says, "I guess this is the last time I will be taking a shower on Thursday."  Trevor says, "No you will still shower on Thursdays.  It just won't be every Thursday."

"No," Ariana says.  "I am going to shower every other day.  Mom says."

We were confused and then I got what she was saying.  When I said every other day she took it literally as every other day except Thursday.  Sunday-Saturday excluding Thursday.  Ariana is one smart sarcastic cookie.  We need to watch out for that one.  We can't let her out smart us.
