Last week my three-year old misbehaved at a store, yet stubbornly argued that she should still be rewarded with a candy. Her admament defence dragged on for nearly the entire ride home.
"I'll say this much for you," I told her "You're a tenacious little girl"
As soon as I saw the evil glint in her eyes I was fearful. "Why you say I have ten asses?" she said.
"I didn't say that, I said tenacious. It means stubborn. And don't say that word."
"Ten asses?"
"I said don't say that!"
"Why? Why you say I have ten asses? I don't have ten asses. Momma, Daddy said I have ten asses .Do you think I have ten asses?"
"You know full well what I said! Now stop saying that! It's not funny!"
Which was, in retrospect, not all that believable a statement while my wife was giggling in the front seat.
Raise my daughter among less reputable parents and you'd have a cross between Michael Corleone, Ozzy Osbourne, and a Disney Princess.
