“I’m petting your fur.”
“People don’t have fur.”
“You have fur daddy.”

Evie was a little candy crazy after Halloween. Finally Sara took the candy away from her altogether. Evie said, “Give it back, you big twit!” It took us a little while, but we eventually remembered that this was a line in a book we have. Who said T.V. was a bad influence? Turns out it’s books you have to watch out for.

Sometimes Evie really wants Sara to do something, but Sara is busy doing something else, so I have to do it instead. This usually involves tears and tantruming. For instance, Evie needed to get her sweatshirt on, but Sara was getting ready to go, so I did it for her. In these situations, Evie asks Sara, “Mommy, did you put my sweatshirt on?” and Sara says, “Yes” and then Evie is fine. I guess her logic is that, her mommy wouldn’t lie to her, so even though she clearly remembers me putting it on her, if mommy said I didn’t, then I didn’t.

Ah the innocence of kids. Your mommy lies to you, dear. Let’s see if she figures that out first, or how to operate the computer and find daddy’s blog!
