Thanks

Violet, Uncle Jerry and I had just eaten dinner and we were driving to the bookstore to pick out a few titles to add to Violet's library.

Violet said, "Daddy, can you make a cow noise?"

I was feeling silly so I started dog barking, "Woof, woof, woof."

Uncle Jerry asked, "Violet, is that the sound a cow makes?"

"No, it's not," Violet said.  Then she said, "Daddy, can you make a doggie noise?"

Again, being silly, and playing with her, I said, "Moo."

Violet just said, "Thanks."  As soon as she'd said it, I knew I'd been played, and she just wanted me to make a cow noise.  Whenever I make the wrong animal noise, she always corrects me, or tells me I'm wrong.  She didn't, so I knew she got what she wanted out of me.

You can think I'm crazy all you want, but I'm convinced I just lost a battle of wits to my two and a half year old.
