Pretty much the same way I feel about itty bitty.  What a bright child I have.   Nothing wrong with being a proud parent. :biggrin:

amen to that!

got a story to share:

i was cooking dinner, and trying to clean up the kitchen a bit, and hold on to the threads of a conversation with my wife... Tanner was asking questions rapid fire at me... "how does the stove get hot?" ... "why do we have to boil the water first" ... "who discovered this recipe?" ... and finally i shot back at him "ANYONE EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS???"

he says "ANYONE EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD??"

i say "QUICK!!! GO TELL YOUR MOTHER!!!"

from the other room... "i heard.  sounded like sarcasm to me..."

It sounds like the apple didn't fall far from the tree at all! That was a GREAT answer. ;)

Similar scenario with my daughter 'cept her response was "you said that I'm supposed to". I love/hate it when my advice comes back to haunt me ;D

Good to see you. :yes:

I just received this email joke....it made me think of this post.....of course it is not true NOR funny, I thought I would share....


THE MAMA TEST
I was out walking with my 4-year-old daughter.
She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth.
I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
Why? my daughter asked.
Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty,
and probably has germs, I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,
Mama, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart.
I was thinking quickly and replied, All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mama Test.
You have to know it, or they won't let you be a Mama.
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
Oh.....I get it! she beamed, So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad.
Exactly, I replied with a big smile on my face.
