Yep, I'm Going To Blog About This

Hot Guy: That girl was dumb. Don't ever be dumb, kids.

Ironflower: But Daddy, I'm not dumb!

Hot Guy: Of course not, I think you're very smart.

Ironflower
: But you're dumb, aren't you, Daddy?

Hot Guy:
Actually I think our whole family is very smart.
Ironflower: Even you?

Hot Guy (looking at me): You're going to blog about this, aren't you?

I swear I have no idea why Ironflower thinks her father is dumb. Really. I mean, I may have complained about him "not knowing how to put his clothes in the hamper" in front of her once or twice. And he may have mentioned how difficult it is for him to dress them according to Mommy standards. But I never thought that Ironflower would draw such conclusions from it. She's only two and a half - she's supposed to need a lot more repetition before she can draw conclusions.

I wonder when she'll figure out that I can't see through walls?

They only need repetition for the things we want them to learn, the stuff we don't want them to repeat, they only need to hear once, usually when you're not aware that they are in the vacinity....
