That Girl!
Me: Ava, please go pick up your toys. Ava: Ok. (wanders into the living room)
(a little bit later)
Me: Ava, did you pick up your toys?
Ava: Yep!
Me: I still seem them all over the floor! Oops! (I go get a garbage bag and start picking up toys).
Ava: Oh great! You can pick up my toys, Mom!
Me: What kind of bag is this?
Ava: A garbage bag.
Me: And what do we do with things we put in these bags?
Ava: Put them in the garbage. . .oh no!!
(much later)
Ava: Thank you Mommy for "stoling" my toys! (attempted sarcasm)
Me: (after struggling to figure out that "stoling" means stealing) Uh, no, girlie. I took your toys away because you did not clean up and lied to me about it. I did not steal them.
Ava: Oh Mommy, it's ok. Adults just do that sometimes. . .they just make mistakes and stole your toys and they just do that sometimes.
Me: *gurgle* (choking on wrath)
Yet another example of why some species EAT THEIR YOUNG!!!
