UGHH!

Ok, I am getting pretty scared here. I don't know if it's the pregnancy hormones making my reaction time slower or if my children actually are at the brink of out-smarting their mother. This was the scenario in our kitchen a few days ago:

I see my precocious 2 yr old carrying her step stool (never has a good ending), so I am watching her closely. I wait to catch her in action. I see her setting it up near the counter by the microwave. Still no crime has been committed so I continue to watch. She then climbs up and reaches for one of the top cabinets. Now, for the safety of my child, I need to intervene.

Me: "Bella, Get down from there."
Bella: "WELL, I'M TRYING TO GET MY CUP! UGHHH!"
Me: "UGGHH! DON'T ANSWER ME LIKE THAT!"
Bella: "UGHH! WELL, I AM! UGHH!"
Me: "UGHH!"
Bella: "UGHH!"

Yeah, we'll have to work on the lines of communication.
