While Reading Dr. Suess:
C: "Do you like green eggs and ham? What do you think, Little One? Do YOU like green eggs and ham?"
Little One: "EEeew! Yuck! No, not. Not like this, green egg and ha-am."
C: "No?! You don't like green eggs and ham?!"
Little One (considers the question more carefully): "Umm...um, no Mommy. Not. Sorry."
(perks up as an idea strikes Her) "Ok Mommy! How 'bout this. Maybe, maybe PINK eggs and ha-am! Maybe could like pink ones. Sound 'dea?"*
For the record. I am not teaching Her this stuff. I am not spoon-feeding Her frilly glitter-coated hearts, seriously. It's just...in there.
*"Sound 'dea?" is one of Little One's favorite terms. It's Her contraction for "Does that sound like a good idea?" and frequently used as a bargaining term, along with "No way Jo-se!"
