Tonight as my girls were eating dinner, after two bites Riley declared she was all done eating. This is something she has started doing since Halloween. I attribute this new procedure to her desire to get to the after meal treat as quickly as possible. It is now our rule that unless you eat your meal there is no treat. She hasn't quite got it burned into her memory yet.So tonight when she made her proclamation that she was done, I told her that she needed to eat her food. She brazenly said "No". Quickly I reminded her that she doesn't say no to me when I'm giving her instruction. Of course, Kinsey had to chime in with her thoughts, which went as follows:
"Riley you know Daddy's in charge of everything. He's even in charge of Mommy. He's like the mayor of our house". Supressing my overwhelming urge to break out in boisterous laughter, I asked Kinsey where she had heard that Daddy was in charge of Mommy. It's my nature to seek out the source of mis-information. Kinsey told me she had read it in a magazine at the hospital when she was born. The magazine article said that "Mommy's were just a little bit lower than Daddy's". My guess is that she's been watching old episodes of All in the Family on Nick at Night.
You just never know what's coming next. Isn't it wonderful?
