Facts, they just get in the way some times

john -- August 8th, 2010

After having a complete meltdown about having macaroni with cheese in it (ohhh, the horror!), Valerie went to get the settled-down Maia from the sleeping room.

V: OK, I’m going to fix you a plate of mac and cheese now.

M: But I don’t waaaaaant a plate. I want a bowl.

V: No bowls. The bowls are all dirty.

M, looking into the open cupboard: No they aren’t. Let me count the bowls. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.  Mom, there are plenty of clean bowls!

We must choose wisely the battles to fight in the tug-o-war with Maia.
