You make me sad

This is a story that happened a several days ago, but I kept thinking I must blog this - so I will never forget it.

When Emma does something "bad" or doesn't listen and do what I tell her I say "Emma.. you're not listening to mommy and that makes me very sad" - which in turn she follows directions because she dislikes making me "sad". So the other day she asked me if she can have icecream. I said, "no honey - you can't have icecream right now because it's almost supper time and I don't want you ruining your appetite". She looks up at me, with tears in her eyes and her arms stretched out at her sides and said "Mommy.. you make me so sad".

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
