From the mouths of babes, Part n

[lillibet]

When people compliment me on our parenting, I often say that Alice is an amazing person and we do our best to simply encourage that and stay out of her way. Case in point:

As she reaches for a compact fluorescent lightbulb left at eye-level in the living room...

Daddy: No, Alice, that's not a good thing for you to play with.

Alice: Well, Daddy, maybe you should put it away so I won't see it and want to play with it.
