When 'The Opposite Day' went horribly wrong...


It's July the 4th. A great day to start a new blog.
We started the day with some home-made pancake, hot mocha, and some nice cappuccino.
Everything went peacefully after a big negotiation between Daddy and Euna about what to listen to for breakfast; Euna requested The Beatles, but we have been listening to The Beatles for....a really long time. So Daddy solicited John Lenon's solo album- Imagine John Lenon. She was fine then.

We proceeded to enjoy our pancakes until Euna got a little tired of being 'normal'. She started dipping her finger in her hot mocha, and showing off her double-layered mini pancakes off in the air.

Smart daddy came up a new parenting idea:

"let's start The Opposite Day!" Euna opened her eyes wide with a 'REALLY?' look.

"Wow, this pancake tastes yucky!" Euna repeated.
"Wow I am so SAD." Euna copied.
After several fun tests, Euna started to get a bit too excited and confused. I guess it is hard to act bad after you are told to act good for 4 years!!

Then before I could think straight, Euna poured her mocha onto her pancake plate with a big smile...whattha???

Then I realized that I seemed to hear Daddy yelled with joy:"Spill your mocha!!"

Daddy and I just got so amused and laughed. Poor girl felt her confidence crushed and ran back to her room and cried.....we had to convince her opposite day was over, and let her eat Daddy's pancakes.
