So, my darling daughter and I were watching TV Sunday night and she happened to catch a glimpse of a Christmas Tree on TV. She pointed to it and excitedly exclaimed, "Christmas Tree!"
Being the good parent and seeing a potential teaching moment, I responded, "yes, that's a Christmas Tree. Do you remember Christmas from last year?" She was silent. So I prompted her with, "Who brings you Christmas presents each year?" Obviously, I wasn't specific enough because she was quiet for a moment and then responded happily... "AUNT KARI!"
Ahhh... this gave me warm feelings of joy because I remember my nieces at this age - looking forward to my visits because they knew I didn't come over without something for them. My sister bawled me out for it and told me to stop because I was "spoiling them." Hmmmm... do you think she's guilty of doing the same thing???
Either way, it was funny. Sheesh! Who knew the entertainment value of a young child before having one yourself?
