Conversation with my 12 1/2, I mean 2 1/2 year old.

Last night Tom & Annabelle picked me up from work – the following conversation took place in the van on the way home.

Annabelle – Hi Mum Mum
Me – Hi Pinkle – how was your day?
A – Good
M – What did you do today?
A – Mostly got into stuff.
M – Like what?
A – When Nana was feeding Nate I took the opportunity to open 4 lollipops.
M – Why did you open 4 lollipops?
A – To see which one was my favorite.
M – And which one was your favorite?
A – The orange one.
M – What are you going to do with the other 3 now that you have opened them?
A – Daddy can have them.
M – I don’t think Daddy wants open, licked lollipops.
A – Nate-T can have them
M – Nate is just a baby, he can’t eat a lollipop.
A – He is a goat that eats carpet and leaves – he could manage a lollipop.

At this point I’m done – how do you argue with that kind of logic? How do you debate with a 3 foot tall person that uses the words opportunity and manage correctly yet cries at getting her hair combed?
