I overheard this argument today between the 7 year old and the 4 year old:
“YOU’RE JUST A MEAN CYLON! I’m not playing your game anymore.”
“I am NOT! I’M A DALEK! [calmly] They’re awesomer.”
We are totally raising geeks in this house.

Struggling to get one particular [special needs] child to pick up the toys she had out before moving on to another. I finally had a more discerning discussion with her about her poor behavior choices and choosing an ugly attitude of disobedience. Reminded her of the consequences of continuing to choose this behavior and finally she looked at me sternly and said, “You are being mean to me and I’m going to tell Papa on you when he gets home.” Without missing a beat I pulled out my cell phone and said, “Why wait? Let us call him right now.”
a pause, a thoughtful expression from her, then:
“Well, maybe later then” as she began to pick up her toys.
sheesh

So the other day Bairno wanted something from his oldest sibling, Moggie (15yo). He asked her, she said, “Not right now.” So he looked up at her with the big blue eyes, through the blinking, long and curly lashes and rolled out his bottom lip to manipulate her. She said, “Fine!” and got up to do what he had asked. Then she asked him if that face worked on mama. His reply,
“Nope, but it works on you and Papa.”
– Bairno, 4 years old
