The Eyes of a Child

I'm continually amazed by my two year old daughter. I still can't understand half of what she says, but the half I do is often over the top funny.

Case #1: Proof that women are manipulative from early ages if not birth: Recently she was running through the kitchen, tripped and fell down. She hurt herself, but not too seriously. Just a small bruise. When she hurts herself she usually wants mommy and daddy to kiss her booboo and make it feel better. This time she had other things on her mind.

She was crying pretty hard. I asked her if she wanted me to kiss her booboo and make it feel better. "No kiss my booboo" she said. I asked, "Don't you want it to feel better?" Looking up at the counter where it is kept she tells me, "Candy make it better!"

Now after the laughing fit wore off I'm left pondering. Was the fall a ploy or did she just take the opportunity to pull daddy's strings. Either way, I think daddy needs to watch himself around her.
