Recently, R has taken to prodding Z to say funny things. This, of course, creates general hilarity as Z is only too eager to comply – she’s become quite a ham when she’s not being the world’s most defiant 2-yr-old. I laughed more than once recently–not at Z, however, but at R when she responds to Z’s antics with “You’re crackin’ me up, kid!” I mean, c’mon, that’s just too funny coming out of the mouth of a (nearly) 4-yr-old!

Yet one more piece of evidence that our kids are little information sponges…and parrots. For better and for worse, I’m sure.
