So, tonight, miz N rules-lawyered me for the first time. The girls were playing at the base of the stairs while starphire and I hung out and watched. S was jumping up and down in a bouncy chair, and N was running about doing, y'know, whatever it is she does, when she got it in her head to go upstairs

"That's Not a Binky!"

[diatom]

What a smartypants she is!

I'm repeatedly surprised by how smart small children are, and how quickly they can outwit adults, sometimes. Keeps a person light on their feet, or brain, or something....

The first time I babysat Marcos, who was 3, he asked me for his binky. I had no idea what this was. I brought him a "blankie". He looked at me and said, incredulously: "That's not a binky!" I asked him to show me where the binky lived. He pointed at this one cupboard. I didn't believe him, but I opened it, and there was the stash of pacifiers, in a cup.

*heart melted* I think I gave him one, and he asked for an extra (another 'rule-push', but I didn't know!)....I was so tickled that he knew just where to get the right thing....*melted-in-a-pool-of-babylove*

Your child is a genius. Haven't I already told you that? Well, it bears repeating.

Nah, don't hold back. Laugh all you want.
I laughed heartily when it happened.
"She totally outwitted her mommy", I cried.

I actually didn't see it coming...

Hee hee.
OK, she's good.
