my little terrorist

Help! I've been kidnapped by a terrorist!

She is a small blonde with little curls. She demands my attention and yells if she doesn't get it. I am forced to clean and cook for her and to keep her clean and her clothes washed. I am made to play little games with her and 'be the mommy' in her playing house hoax. She forces me to read to her from small books with more pictures then words. She has been known to lose her temper if her food isn't prepared exactly the way she wants it. She demands 'to be held' and 'cuddling' sometimes throwing a tantrum over getting the car, getting her seatbelt on, and leaving an area that was to her liking. I have tried to get her to speak about herself so that she doesnt' blow up, find something in common, and have even been reduced to tears and anger. She is charming one moment and the next; terrifying. When she is sleepy; she gets even angrier and I try many tricks to get her to go to sleep so that I can find my escape. I sometimes will sing her a lullaby to lull her into sleep, I have even given into the'cuddling' and have held her until she sleeps. Then I think of my escape; at which point I am too tired to try. The next morning she has a smile on her face and I just melt. Shes' not a terrorist; shes' just a three year old on a bad day!
