Serenity Now, Please

Ellis is getting water from the fridge dispenser. It overflows her cup, somewhat inevitably, I might add. Seems like there’s about a liter of water on the floor in front of the fridge.

“Ellis, did you spill?”

“No, I did not spill.”

“Why is there water on the floor?”

“That is from the cup.”

“So you spilled?”

“No, I did not spill.”

“How did the water get on the floor, then?”

“It came over the side of the cup.”

“So, you spilled.”

“No! I did NOT spill! The water just came over the side.”

“Ellis, that’s what happens when you spill. Water goes where you don’t want it to go.”

“I DIDN’T SPILL IT. The water just went on the floor.”

“…”

“Maybe there is something wrong with the cup. And my feet are wet and I don’t like that.”

1. Holy crap, that made me laugh out loud!  How old is the little one that said this?  Damn, will make a great lawyer someday arguing points such as that!!

2. She’s four. With all the cuteness and exasperation that’s comes with that age.

   And she comes by her ability to argue honestly, since my wife is an attorney. :-]

5. isn’t this where you get yourself a glass of water and have it magically just goes on his shirt?

   Listen closely to the first thing out of the mouth of the child:

   “You just spilled water on me!”
   “No i didn’t.”
   “Yes you did, I’m soaked.”
   “No - the water just went on you..”

   I love kids… always entertaining.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
