I didn't ask her to do any of that. No, not even make dinner.
Last week she said, "I can't wait until you're 90 years old and in a wheelchair."
"Why?" I asked.
She said it's because whenever she asks me if I need help with anything I always tell her "No." And she wants to help me.
Now what 13 year old says something like that?
This one.
I've got four other kids like that too.
Now you're jealous, aren't you?

She is awesome! I wonder if she'd be interested in peer counseling a certain 13 year old that I know...
am i first!!!
I'm jealous of you having a 13 year old like that. But? I'm way more jealous of her for having hair like that. No. Fair.
Ok,what does she want? ;)
J/K I think that is really awesome! :)
She's mine. MINE, I tell you.
She and my son will have scads of smart, funny, goofy, helpful Brinattys.
P.S. Let her help you. :)
Jealous doesnt't even come close.
I'm with Wendy, peer counseling would be good.
Will she babysit my kid?
What a jewel! Is she available at my house on Friday??? :D
Millie... I'm so with you... let her help you Carrot!
Hey just because she comes up with original answers to questions, it doesn't mean she's not a genius, lol, far from it. But clearly, you are the smarty pants that birthed those sweet and smart kids.
I mean, who else, but a genius would create helpful children!
I love her handwriting. What a dear girl, I want her. Please?
so sweet! :)
Would you teach Glitter a few things?
I'm going to go do an exercize thing.
Really.
And jealous? If one of my kids asked me to let him or her help me I'd probably need first aid for shock.
I'll have what she's having.
NO FAIR!!! I have to type up contracts to get my son to agree to things.
I'm hyperventilating over here because I'm so jealous.
_Big_ time!
I feel guilty borrowing her from you from time to time. I know she likes the money, so that eases the guilt, but still!
I've said it before, I'll say it again,
"Lucky!"
Wow; she is amazing!
Let her help you, now!! I would die if one of my kids actually made dinner. I have to tell them every night what it is they do for the dinner routine. And they've been doing it for YEARS! You are lucky!!
I used a Mork and Mindy lunchbox when I was a child. It made me the person I am today.
I love that girl, you and the Mr. got the recipe just right and you kept going 4 more times, they are all great! I think you are on to something.
(People like you should keep going, make more please, make some more... and then give them to me.)
Look at the way she worships pineapple. I am awestruck.
SUper Duper jealous.
I love it that she ended every item on her list with an exclamation mark.
You have done good Carrot.
When will you be publising your book on how to raise perfect teenagers? I only have a few years before I am faced with twin teenaged girls! Help me!!! I'm scared!!
She's adorable! I agree with the others, let her help while she is still willing! :)
I wish I could say she gets it all from her Dad, but . . . she doesn't.
Yes. Very.
Mine is always telling me, "I DON'T love you. I a BAD guy!"
Hooray.
You are blessed.
I love reading about your kids.
super awesome daughter. i like to think i was like that when i was younger. but i'm pretty sure, i'm just imagining it.
I agree you should write a parenting book. I got a title for you, How to grow perfect baby carrots.
Ok that was lame.
If things don't work-out between your daughter and Millie's son. I have a very sweet 13 yr. old who is very helpful around the house. He would be a fine future husband.
I thought 13 year old girls were supposed to be EVIL...That has been my main fear of having a daughter! (and why I so enjoy that I have five sons...) If I could get a girl like that I might actually be tempted to have a daughter!
I am jealous. Please mail her to my house forthwith.
well... i really wanted to say thank you for the casper video, but you forced me to do it here because you disabled comments on it.
it was awesome - thanks!
Wow. So, what is your parenting trick? There's gotta be a trick...
And she has "cheerleader" handwriting. (the nice, bubbly, cute script I coveted throughout my school years). Some people have the whole package. Congrats #1 you have it all and a great mom to boot!
Can you bottle whatever it is she's breathing or eating or whatever? Cause I know someone, not me, just a (cough) friend who would really pay a lot of money for that.
