Me: E.V.! Do NOT force Cricket to drink tub water.
{blank stare}
E.V.: It’s yucky?
Yes.
Oh.
{long, thoughtful pause}
Here ya’ go, Cwi-ket!
{Cricket grins as she chokes down the water because it, in fact, is NOT yucky to a baby}
I can’t win, can I?
{E.V. grins, too, because she know that I, in fact, CANNOT win}
:)
