Little Imitations

My soon-to-be four year old daughter has been pulling out an unusual number of zingers lately. For example, yesterday, when I was out on the back porch, she pointed at the fence and said, “I’m going down there with a dolt.”

“A what?”

“I need a dolt to go down there.”

“Oh, an adult.”

“Yeah, I need a dolt to go down there.”

This morning, we learned that she pays close attention to her mother. She was found scribbling on post-it notes and sticking them to her computer monitor. I’m not sure, but I think I can make out, “3:00 PM – Snack on goldfish.”

Our kids pick up everything. They imitate our every move. Lord, let me set a better example.
