Remember how my daughter got completely outsmarted by this
well educated and highly skilled intellectual when she tried to lie
about defacing a book? Well, tonight, she managed to extract a
bit of a sweet little revenge.
About two hours ago, I was putting her through her pre-bedtime
routine—you know, brushing teeth, washing face, etc.—when she
pointed at her little plastic bathtub lying inside the main tub and
declared: "I wanna take a bath."
An innocent enough request, one would say, except that with her,
a bath is never as simple a matter as it sounds like. Instead, it
usually involved a rubber ducky, two plastic bottles, several colorful
toy fish, an array of other waterproof toys, and at least 30-40 minutes
of quality playing time before she would consider the bath properly
completed. It was getting late, and I had important articles to read
on MITBBS. So I told her: "Let's do that tomorrow. It's too late and
too cold now."
Reluctantly, she let me run her through the process and tuck her in
bed. A couple of Dr. Seuss books and more than a hundred gentle
pats on the back later, she finally looked ready to dose off, and I
decided to take a shower and get comfy myself.
When I came back from the bathroom, I was surprised to see her
sitting in bed and checking me out with sleepy eyes.
"Daddy, what'ya doing?" she asked.
"Nothing," I said. "I was just taking a shower."
She put on the most complex expression I had ever seen on her little
face, looking partly puzzled, partly inquisitive, partly thoughtful, partly
amused—and maybe even a little sarcastic, I could swear.
"Is it too late and too cold?" she commented, oh-so innocently.
Ouch…checkmate—in the hands of a 2.5-year-old! :-) | s******e
