Miss Sassy Pants, part 8,341

No joke – this stuff came out of Mallory’s mouth this weekend:

• Trying to get Rick’s attention – and Rick wasn’t responding. Mallory said “do you hear my voice?”
• And then when he still wasn’t responding, I told Mallory to tell dad that she was going to count to three. So Mallory said “Hey Dad – I’m going to count to three. One…two…GO!!!”, while she was pointing. Can you tell we always try some other motivation with Mallory before we actually get to three?
• Friday night I asked Mallory to grab me a beer, which she did. Then Rick asked her to get him a beer, and she came back with one of my beers. I told Mallory to get the other kind out of the fridge and she came running back with a Minute Maid Light Lemonade, yelling “DADDY! I GOT YOU YOUR FAVORITE!”.
• I asked her to do something and she promptly did it. Apparently I didn’t recognize her efforts because she told me “you can thank you.”
• Tonight I was trying to ask her how her day went. She kept saying “NO! I am asking you what YOU did today!”. So I told her “well, I listened to Carson cry…” and without skipping a beat she said “yeah…me too”.
• And finally – she was trying to ask me something and I wasn’t answering. Mallory said “I am telling you a question.”
