Lillyisms

Today's situation was as follows. Lilly took her leapster game out and I confiscated it and told her I wasn't giving it back. I hate when she takes the games out and loses them. Her response? She grabbed her leapster and stared at me defiantly and said "Fine! I'm not giving my leapster to you!" Really? You think that's what's going on here? Are you hoping to confuse me into giving it back? Kid, you are not in control here. You are cuckoo for crazy puffs. Also, it's kind of hard to stay mad at you when you're staring at me like that


Also today. I was in my closet and she follows me in and finds a bag of stashed presents I have. I make her drop it and tell her to get out of my closet. She then tried to get in anyway and I block her with my leg and then she cries that I hurt her and I tell her she needs to stay out, I said no. No, you can't touch it, no, you can't even see it. And what does she have to say? "But I want to see it" Oh, well then, since you want to...I still said no! Now go away.
Lilly is a 4 year old with a real problem of understanding that she isn't in control here.

Nicole's Funny Joke of the Day!

Bright and early this morning Nicole lets this joke loose.
"Why can't Spiderman hug his mom?"
"Why?"
"Because he doesn't have one! Hahaha!" 
Holy crap, I think that's the most depressing joke I've ever heard.
To be fair, Nicole doesn't know the story of Spiderman. To her he's just a figurine and a costume. Still, I can't wait for her to unleash that little gem on someone else.
