Geometry Lesson

Susie and I were reading a book about all of the things that could happen to Elmo, and that no matter what, Elmo's mommy would still love him.  At one point Elmo asks if his mommy would still love him if he had corners.  I pointed to the picture and showed Susie that Elmo was square.  She looked at me and said, "No, Mommy.  Elmo's a cube. He's a cube, Mommy." Of course he was in fact a cube.  I just didn't know she knew that word.  Silly me.

Darn it!

On the way home from eating dinner at my parents' house, Susie announces that she wants a lollipop when we get home.  I told her that it is a little too late to have sweets, and maybe she can have one tomorrow.  Susie slaps her hand on her leg and says, "Darn it! Darn it, Mommy!" She doesn't miss ANYTHING!
