Tonight at dinner, Alli was having a fit because "someone" drew all over her picture. Of course, the only other little person in the house that is learning about the letter "H" was sitting across from me. "Brooke, did draw all over Alli's picture", I asked. "No, I didn't" was her answer. "Brooke, your nose is growing because you are telling me a lie." After a quick feel she replies, "No, it's not". Of course, I kept up with it because I wasn't going to let her off that easy. I went on to say, "Brooke, your nose is going to be as big as Pinnochio's if you keep it up." Now she's mad and her reply was, "it is not going to get that big"! Ha, caught. Score one for the mom! Just to get her good and angry I said, "look, it's getting bigger as we speak. In order for it to stop, you have to tell the truth". "Fine, fine, I drew on it", she fesses up. I can only hope that the Pinnochio works well into my daughter's 30's. On a different note, Lauren is covered from head to toe in chicken pox...gross! The doctor says that the vaccination has a 5% failure rate. I should have guessed that at least one of my girls would fall into that 5%!!
