Lauren called her Cousin Ethan to tell him "Happy Birthday" yesterday. While she was on the phone, she got the chance to talk to her Cousin Olivia too. Their birthdays are only about a week apart so we just recently bought both presents.
Lauren: "We got you Lincoln Logs, Olivia".
Me: "Shh...that is a present, a surprise, don't tell her what it is."
Lauren: "I was just asking her a question Mom, if she had some."
Me: "Don't tell her what we got her."
Lauren: "We didn't get you Lincoln Logs, Olivia!"
The good news is...Cousin Olivia wasn't even paying any attention to chatty Lauren on the other end so it will be a surprise still! :)
Then, tonight, as we are packing to go to the above-mentioned birthday parties, Lauren told me she wanted to change her pants to some that we packed for tomorrow.
Me: No, Lauren, you can't wear those pants right now, you are going to wear them tomorrow to the Lorax movie.
Lauren: Ok, Mom. I'm just borrowing them right now. Then I will put them back later.
Me: sigh
When do they get so smart?
