Oh I kid, I kid. Kinda.
Ahem.
Oh Reese, my sweet, savvy, spunky little girl.
It's SUCH a good thing you're this cute.
Reese has started bargaining for things and privileges. Instead of getting upset, she turns to compliments and sweetness. It's nice, but oh so sneaky.
Reese - Mama can we have a snack?
Me - No, Reese. Sorry, but dinner will be ready shortly.
Reese - Maaaamaaaa, pleeaasse - with a cherry, and pudding, and a pie on top??
(A pie? Back in my day, we only used "a cherry on top" for leverage, none of that other stuff was part of the begging equation.)
Me - Reese, no. I mean it, Stop asking.
Reese - Oookk. (She pause for about 30 seconds, and then comes over and hugs my leg) Mama, I'm so hungry, and what you're making smells so yummy. I really like your beautiful hair, and your pants are very pretty.
(my hair was in a knot, and I had penguin pajama pants on. Don't judge.)
I could not keep from laughing. The child was trying to win me over with compliments - for a pack of fruit snacks! I couldn't help it, I ended up giving her some bites of what I was fixing. I know it was giving in a little, but hey, it's not like I gave her the gummi's!
What can I say, she's good at what she does. :)

Cute when they are 6 ... not so cute when they are 16.
Good job on not giving in to the gummies.
I have an adorable little 8 year old that is quite good at the compliments, as well.

Oh bless... that cracks me up :)
Hey I noticed on your twitter that you have a sick baby?? Hope she's feeling better this morning! Praying for you guys.
ha ha! She is so sweet.
Too cute! I have one like that--she's not even three, yet. We have to be strong! :)
I'd have a hard time not giving into that face, too!
That is hilarious!!! I probably would have been a sucker and given her 2 packs of gummies...
She's sly - I love it!!!
Nice! I wish my boys would dish it out like that. Their dad has trained them to say, "Mommy is stinky." ;)
Reese is hilarious. I've always thought that she has a little devious look about her. Too funny...
That is too cute! I think our kids take lessons from the same place.
