"hey whats wrong?"

"i miss my daddy"

"oh sweetie you can call him later okay"

"okay"

"why don't you go back to bed i have to run to the office and i don't want you wondering the house alone"

"i don't want to go to bed" i whine

"hey! no whining why don't you go get dressed and ill take you with me"

"really! thank you"

i run up to my room and get some leggings on and a t-shirt and my running shoes

"skylar don't be so disrespectful" i scold

"don't worry jack she is just shy"

"no i don't teach my kids to be disrespectful ill see you in a bit max"

we walk to my office and i sit her down in the chair on the other side of my desk.

"skylar when someone says hello and wants to shake your hand, you do not be disrespectful and ignore them" i scold

she pouts and ignores me

"okay since you want to ignore me you can go stand in the corner until i tell you to come out"

"but Jackson i don't want to go to the corner"

i go over to her chair lift her up with her feet not touching the ground and swat her 5 times.
