Never argue with a two year old.

I generally enjoy two year olds a great deal and daily_alice is no exception. En route to a museum last month, we (Sarah, said two year old, her mommy, and I) passed a VIP Gentleman's Club next door to the Tiki Bowl Family Fun Center.

saraheeyore: Well there you go. Drop the wife and kids off at the Tiki Bowl and head over to the club. Fun for the whole family.
wellstar: Indeed. With a set up like that, who needs the children's museum?
daily_alice: ALICE!

And yesterday in the pool:

daily_alice: I got the goggles!
wellstar: You sure do got the goggles.
daily_alice: Have
wellstar: What?
daily_alice: I have the goggles.
wellstar: Did she just correct my grammar?
lillibet: I think so...
wellstar: Huh. Well, I guess she's ready for the Internet now.

I stand corrected. Twice.

Thanks to both mommy and daughter for two lovely adventures, but let that be a lesson for the rest of you: Rhetorical questions may be beyond a two year old's linguistic skill set, but good grammar is for everyone. Also, Sondheim was right.
