Little Miss Wisecrack

Yes, the munchkin is at it again... and again, I'm left speechless. Her verbal retorts are getting increasingly exasperating. And I truly understand what people mean when they say you've gotta "pick your battles."

Background: I'm officially tired of putting away her toys after playtime and reminded her again that she needs to clean up.
Me: Kayla, clean up your toys after you play or you're not going to have any more toys to play with.
Kayla: I'm the messy one. You're the clean-up one!
Me: What?!
Kayla (emphatically now): I'm the messy one. You're the clean-up one! Mommy clean up.

Background: She's been having a field day with her markers and left some streaks on her blouse.
Me: Kayla, look at your top. Mommy can't wash that off, you know.
Kayla: You've to use Oxiclean, Mommy.
Me (to self): This is what happens when your kid's been watching way too much TV.

Other updates:
1. Ask her what she wants to be when she grows up and you'll get either one of these answers: A Princess or A Fairy.
2. Her favorite color is *drumroll* PINK and absolutely no one else can like the same color.
3. Sharing is fun when someone shares their toys with her. Ask her if she'll share her toys and she'll tell you "Sharing is no fun, Mommy!"
4. To worm her way out of sleeping in her own room, she has resorted to telling us: she doesn't like her bed; she's not a big girl; it's not fun being a big girl!
5. She loves loves loves dresses. And the mirror's her new best friend.
6. She truly believes she transforms into a princess (or Tinkerbell) when she puts on her princess (or Tinkerbell) costume. And when she takes it off, she actually says: "The princess (or Tinkerbell) is becoming Kayla!"
7. She's starting to learn how to read and can actually recognize more words than I thought she could.
8. She gets annoyed when you say she's fat or chubby. She'd rather you call her a skinny beannie.

My brains are a wee bit fried now. More later... :)
