I decided to indulge in some "healthy" chocolate covered pomegranates the other day and of course Amelie wanted some too, so I told her she had to eat a small bag of carrots first. I sat her on the couch with a cartoon, carrots and the magical bag of chocolate sitting just out of reach. So I went about my business.
A few minutes went by and she came and asked me for the chocolates again. I squinted my eyebrows knowing that carrots are not that easy to chew and could not have been eaten that quickly.
Besides, she had that silly grin on her face that says, "But I'm cute so you should give me anything I want." I felt myself falling for it and quickly shook it off and came back to reality. So, I decided to give her a chance at making the right decision. I asked her, "did you finish your carrots?" She told me yes, and I asked, "honey, are you lying?" She kinda laughed like I was the silly one and said ademantly, "NO". I said, "are you sure?" Still she was acting like my question was so silly so I decided to ask her, "Do you know what lying means?"
She said, "Yes". I was surprised since I didn't really think she would know what lying means even though I was sure she was lying in that moment. So, I asked her, "What is lying?"
She answered with pride...."It's a TIGER".
How could I deny chocolate to a response like that.
Love her!!!
