Riley vs. Mommy

August 2005

Topanga: She hates me and you're leaving me with her for an entire weekend

Cory: Topanga she doesn't hate you. She's 3 years old she doesn't even know what hate means.

Topanga: She clearly knows her favorites and I am not one. Why does my own daughter hate me

Cory: Well I spend more time with her. You're always working

Topanga: I'm a first year attorney I don't have a choice to work all of the time

Cory: Don't stress about it

Topanga: I am stressed because you're leaving for a whole weekend

Cory: I'll be back Sunday night. Its just a teacher get together

Topanga: In Orlando Florida

Cory: Come on get the kid and let's head to the airport

Topanga: You get the kid I'll get your bags

Cory: Fine

Cory gets Riley and they head to the airport

Riley: *crying* Don't go Daddy

Cory: It's only for 2 days Riley. You will call me every night and every morning

Riley: *crying* Mommy go instead

Topanga: *sighs*

Cory: This is for teachers not lawyers, but you will have a great weekend with Mommy

Riley: *hugs her dad tightly*

Cory: Love you Riley. *hugs her back than sets her on the ground*

Topanga: Why couldn't your mom come and stay for the weekend

Cory: Build a relationship with her Topanga

Topanga: She hates me and it hurts

Cory: She won't hate you for long. Now I have to go. Please enjoy your weekend
