Today in the car I was cut off and almost hit for like the third time in one day. I said out loud that people are driving crazy today. Alyssa said, "Then why don't you drive crazy too?" I told her that two wrongs don't make a right and then she asked what that means. I went on to explain what it meant. Fast forward 2 hours and the boy next door is practicing his trumpet. (We live in a half double.) I hear him often and it almost nevers bothers me. He needs to practice after all. Anyway I just learned today that Alyssa is going to have to practice playing a recorder 15 minutes a day. Can you say torture?! So the boy is practicing next door and I say jokingly to Brian, "I'll just let Alyssa practice in here because if I have to hear the trumpet they can hear the recorder."
Of course Alyssa comes in from behind me. She heard every word...of course. She then proceeds to say, "But Mommy I thought you said two wrongs don't make a right." I then tell her I was just kidding and she says, "Oh I know but that was funny."
How is it that she doesn't listen when I say clean your room or leave your brother alone but hears every not so great thing that comes out of my mouth?
