LSATs in 17 years and counting

Today, Charlotte got her Christmas gifts from her dayhome provider since this is the last day the kids will be under someone else's care until after the new year (hold me closer, Tony Danza).

One of the gifts was a Disney Princess Memory game. Charlotte has played Memory before but only on my iPhone, never the real game. I was waiting until I thought she could handle it without going apoplectic with Princess rage.

Coincidentally, Santa may have gotten her this Memory game too, which works out fine since I'm sure the baby will eat some pieces some pieces may get lost and now we have backup!

Tonight after I put Sawyer to bed, I sat down to play the "real" version, with rules and stuff.

Being three, she's not real fond of rules. But in this house, we don't cheat or let people win. However, somehow she beat me every time.

On the third round, we were pretty close. She had eight matches and I had six. (I only used half the cards.) Apparently, she didn't like that she was so only ahead by two so when the game was over, she counted her pairs and my pairs again.

"I have an idea!" she said.

"Ok, what's your idea?"

"How 'bout I give you one of my matches and you give me three of yours?!?"

"Well, how is that fair? I worked hard for my matches. I should get to keep them."

"But you'll be getting one of MY matches. Plus, I think you're pretty."

I should start saving for law school now, huh?

Your kids are too cute. And I lose at Memory every.single.time.

Plus I think you're pretty! Ahhahahahahah! That's awesome. When all else fails, shower mommy with flattery! I love it!

Yes. Politics.

I see a President Charlotte and Prime Minister Pepper Bi-lateral Convention in the all-too-not-too-distant future.

And I shuddered that shudder like when someone is supposed to have walked over your grave. (Also, I have no idea what "bi-lateral" means, but it has "two" in it.)

I figure you've got 2-3 years before you're dealing with her trading Sawyer nickels for dimes ('cause they're bigger).

You're screwed.

Also, I ALWAYS lose at Memory. I swear it's because those little brains have nothing better to do than to memorize who Princess Jasmine is hanging under. (Ahem.) Just wait until they have bills and responsibilities and such. Then they will be clueless like us.

Drew always kicks my butt at Memory. Darn kids.

Charlotte will certainly rule the world!

Memory can bite me.

Not that I'm bitter at losing to a 3 1/2 year old or anything.

Ahem.

;)

Hah. My kid kicked my but today in Tap Tap Revenge 3 and he rubbed it in my face like he'd just won the World Series.

At least your kid called you pretty.
