Lately Sylvie-Faye has been approaching me and saying things like:
S-F: Hey, mommy. You wanna' read me a story right now. You do.
ME: (Gasping) I do?
S-F: (Excitedly) Yeah! You really, really do!
ME: Oh my gosh! How did you know?
She just shrugs in response. It cracks me up. And, of course, I have to read her the story because that IS exactly what I wanted to do...right in the middle of typing a medical report.
Another time I was cooking dinner and she approached me with a little mischievous grin on her face and her hands behind her back.
ME: Hey Sylvie.
S-F: Hi mommy.
ME: What do you have behind your back?
S-F: (Shrugging) Oh. Nuffing.
ME: Nothing?
She slowly brought her hands forward and shot her left hand straight up at me. In her little fist I saw the pink nail polish from my bathroom.
ME: Uh oh. Did you take my nail polish from my bathroom?
S-F: (Shrugging) Well...did you want to paint my nails now?
ME: Well, honey, I'm cooking dinner right now.
S-F: Well...you wanted to paint my nails.
ME: I did?
S-F: Uh huh. So...uhhh...just stop cooking the dinner now because you wanna' paint my nails now.
I threw my head back and laughed at that one. She is hilarious! I think she's been watching too many Star Wars movies with her big brother John and she's attempting to use the Jedi Master force on me like she's Obi-Wan Kenobi or something. I'm embarrassed to say it's worked thus far. Her powers of mind control are too great for me.

Oh my gosh, she is such a sweet little girl. Give her a hug for me. :0)
Sylvie is a crack-up. That girl knows what she wants...and she knows her mom is a softy!
so can she teach me how to do that? I'd love to have jedi powers!!
Too funny!
Me: Kristin, I want some chocolate cake for dessert.
You: You do?
Me: Yes, with ice cold milk. :)
Did it work or are my skillz lacking?
