In the car on the way to Baltimore:
"I'm going to count. One, two, three..."
Realizing that this could go on throughout the entire trip - and that would be a long trip, made longer by the constantly rambling voice in the back seat - after she got to one hundred, a request was voiced that she not count out loud anymore.
"Daddy, you interrupted me."
no one says anything
"DaddyDaddyDaddyDaddyDaddy."
"What?"
"You interrupted me. I was counting and I was at 109 and you interrupted me."
"OK."
"What do you have to say?"
"OK honey, I'm sorry."
"Can you make it better?"
"Ummmm.... I won't do it again?"
"That's right."
"I'm going to count. One, two, three..."

Awesome!
Isn't it wonderful how children have that uncanny ability to put we parents and adults in our places, so many times!
Obviously she is an intelligent, well-taught child! :-)

Too funny! I say turn up the radio and let 'em count. At least they aren't whining!
At least she's a nice scolder. :)
