Last night Heidi and I had a girls night out. We went to her favorite restaurant, Taco Mamacita. You know kids; they can only sit still for so long. Toward the end of dinner she was inching out of her seat, half-laying down, thinking of going under the table, etc. I told her to sit up. Twice. The third time I reminded her that she was almost 4 and that 4 yr. olds sit up at the dinner table and use their manners. Her response? “But I’m not 4.” I advised her she was very nearly four and needed to practice. Her response? “I am 3, Momma. I am not 4 yet.” And there it is, like mother, like daughter. I too used to have an answer for everything. I too used to try to have the last word.
