k my daughter was picking out 3 cookies for desert to put in her bowl. i'm watching her and she puts 2 in the bowl and then one very quickly in her mouth and then another in the bowl. i asked what she was doing and she tries to argue the fact that she only put 3 in her bowl so technically she did what i said. put 3 cookies in the bowl. she really tries to trick me with technicalities.

Now come on - was she wrong? You did say "put three cookies in your bowl for dessert", didn't you? Clever tyke... mine are considerably older and the cuteness has worn off. Watch her carefully or she'll grow up to be a lawyer

I think all kids do this in some form or fashion. It must be the age. You know, the whole push the set limits thing. It is creative thinking though.

LOL! Oh yeah, give a kid a loophole and they'll dive through it! My kids were like that and my grandkids try to get one over on me whenever they see the opportunity. My youngest child was the great debator when she was growing up and I used to get so irritated!

LOL! To cute! Ya, they all do that at some point. You can't help but laugh though. Reminds me of an old Bill Crosby video about the child and the cookie on top of the fridge.
