Em is so awesome.
I have a recurring (probably annoying by this point) joke whenever somebody wishes something impossible. E.g. "I wish Oreo cookies would magically appear in my hand." "Well, I wish I had a magical flying pony that craps money."
Yesterday I'm lounging on the couch as Emeline colors. Emeline suddenly announces: "I'm hungry. Daddy, I want a snack."
"Well, I want world peace," I answer.
"Daddy, you'll get your pony at Christmas. Please get me some Goldfish."
Don't teach your kid how to outwit you!
I dunno, my Dad always said that he expected me to be smart enough not to get caught doing whatever I wasn't supposed to be. If I got caught, I got in trouble for whatever I was doing AND got the
"You are supposed to be cleverer than that, Jillian"
speech.

Yes, in a bizarre way I'm looking forward to saying to Emeline "Really?! You expected
that
to fool me? * sigh *. Punkin', next time don't put your hologram on a loop, it's a dead giveaway."
That kid is scary smart ... and if she ever does go evil, we're in BIG trouble.
And at the huge press conference from Em's Fortress of Doom, when she announces her new world domination, Daddy will be sitting just behind her on the podium, smiling in quiet pride.

Maybe
you
are...me, I'm banking on owning Australia in my retirement.
"Remember who taught you, kiddo. You owe your old man."
She scowls at me and says "I wanna be the Joker."
Emeline is too adorably evil for words.
IcookingN, I have a tube of unopened tomato paste that expired lasst month. It's probably still good to use, right?
"Remember who taught you, kiddo. You owe your old man."
I hope she doesn't hold a grudge against you for thwarting her misappropriation of those Hersey's Kisses.

Those get spun into Valuable Life Lessons.
It's like "Tuesdays with Morrie" with Death Rays.
