So who is really lying?

Well school is over for this semester. I am pleased with my grade and look forward to next semester but for now I'm LOVING the time to do things I meant to do more than 4 months ago!! Work is good. So is rest.

So I was "resting" on the couch yesterday watching TV with Catherine. I can't remember what we were watching but someone said "Stop, Drop and Roll." When the boys were little we toured 13 fire stations (or more - I quit counting) so I knew they would know what that phrase meant but I couldn't remember ever actually teaching it to Cali. So I asked - "Do you know what that means?"

Of course the 10 year old princess not only knew it but could articulate it better than any fire fighter with less than 15 years experience. I was impressed but couldn't pass up the chance to rock her world just a wee bit. I should have. It was *my* error. What was said absolutely leveled me.

Me: Where did you learn that? (I was secretly hoping I had done a great job and simply forgot - nope!)

Cali: Elmo. (some non person taught my daughter this!!!)

Me: He was lying. (OK - clearly this is where I went wrong. I thought I could throw her off track just a wee bit so I could then teach her some miniscule detail and then take credit for all of the obviously well learned lesson - nope again.)

Cali: And you're brunette.
