Alexa vs. Respect

Alexa: "Mommy, remember the other night when I was sick and I didn't want you to take me to the doctor."

Me: "Yes."

Alexa: "Well, you have to respect me."

Me: "Um, well, didn't going to the doctor that night get you medicine quickly that helped you feel better."

Alexa: "Yes, but I didn't want to go to the doctor. You have to respect me. I wanted you to just called the doctor."

Me: "Hmm. We did, but they said they had to see you before you could get medicine. That's why I took you."

Alexa: "Well, your idea was okay. But you have to tell me. I didn't know you called the doctor."

Me: "Okay. I hear you. I will respect your words and tell you when I call the doctor next time."

Alexa: "Thank you, Mommy."
