Shut

Abigail and I were working on a project at the kitchen table.  At one point, she said, "Shut your mouth!"  I slowly looked up at her and gave her my best you just said something very naughty look.  She kinda grinned and looked down.  I gave her a little lecture and was confident that my firm tone and stern look had ended this naughty incident.  I, however, had underestimated the intelligence of my three year old.  I returned my attention to my project when she said, "Shut."  I quickly gave her the look again and she said, "What? I'm just singing. You know, the door on the bus goes open and SHUT, open and SHUT, open and SHUT."  The look on her face was just scary.  She outsmarted me and as I looked at her, I saw a teenager and fear crept through my body.  Big Daddy and I have no idea what we have gotten ourselves into with this little one.  We are in BIG trouble.

  1. She is channeling Grandma who used to always tell a certain gassy someone at breakfast to shutup!

  4. Oh yeah. Erin did that with me. I told her "no" to something when she was three and she stomped her foot. I glared and asked sternly(and stupidly), "Did you just stomp your foot at me??" She straightened up and with an innocent look quickly said, "No, I's just marching." Be ready for anything, dear. It's the quick, sharp ones you have to watch.
