siercia | More Widget tales

One of the presents Miss Widget received this Christmas was one of those foam alphabet mat things (each letter is separate, fits into a square of foam rubber, and the squares fit together like puzzle pieces).

Earlier this evening, she'd popped the letter 'G' out of its square, then lost the square it belongs in.

And starts hollering "Daddy, where's the G spot? I can't find the G spot, Daddy!"

Cue Wiley and I dissolving in giggles.

On Christmas Day, there were cheese and crackers and veggies and dip out on the coffee table. My me-mere had put of green peppers, a Widget favorite. She asked me if she could have one, and I said yes. She took another without asking, and I let it slide. She did it AGAIN, and I said "Widget, you need to ask before you take more food from the plates, please." She looked right at me and busts out with "Too late, I already did it!" !!!

So the pepper got taken away and she was sad, until she asked properly and I let her have it back. On reflection, I think that's one she may have learned from me, as I think I've said it to her when she was objecting to my doing something she didn't want me to do. Ooooops.
