Already??

Just wanted to post this so when McCanless is a teenager and I wonder where in the world she came from, I’ll have a reminder that she was born this way.

Lately, when, after being told a thousand times not to do something, she will simply reply, “I didn’t do it, my (fill in blank here) did.” (arm, leg, sister, etc.)

For example, after repeatedly throwing a few paint samples out of our shopping cart yesterday at Lowes and watching and laughing at a very pregnant mommy grimmace as I bent over to gather them, I sternly told her not to do that one more time, or mommy was going to be very, very angry.

She gave me one of those “duh-looks” and said, “I didn’t do it, Mom. My hand did.” Is it just me or is age three a bit young for this? Where does she get this?
