For example, there was this conversation we had when she was four:
JORDAN: Mommy, I can't eat my chicken.
ME: Why not?
JORDAN: Because I don't like chicken nuggets without Ketchup. And... I don't like Ketchup.
So, I was pretty darn excited the other day when I got the best of her.
JORDAN: Mommy, I don't like the mac cheese tonight. The restaurant made it different this time.
ME: Let me taste it. Tastes exactly the same as always to me.
JORDAN: No, it tastes terrible. Something's wrong with it.
ME: It's the same as always!!! Joshy and Daddy think so too. Just eat it.
JORDAN: I can't.
ME: Okay, I'll get you a new one.
(Get up. Walk over to waiter. Whisper, "Can you stick this in the microwave for ten seconds and bring it back.")
ME: Here you go, sweetie. A nice new one.
JORDAN: This one is much better.

So cute! I have had so many funny things like that with my kids too. Like you, I am still behind in the count. Thanks for the great story! : )
i know your daughter. she'll figure it out- - - belatedly! ;-]
hey...a point is a point! at least you're on the board!
These should be regular updates! I love you trying to outsmart your incredibly wise daughter!
Ha! Very cute.
Love it!
That was cute Corey. Thanks for sharing!
Go mommy :)
That's cute. My kids outsmart me most of the time too.
Awesome! I think you're on a roll now!
Ha ha ha! That is perfect! There's a PB in there somewhere, Corey. :-)
LOL!! This is awesome. I'm so filing this away for later, because I'm sure I'll need it. Thanks for sharing. :D
Totally adorable! Thanks for posting!
I just want you to know i'm rooting for you hehe.
Awesome post.
Too funny ... ah, but that 1 point is oh so sweet! :-)
I see Team Corey t-shirts in our future.
My Little Ballerina will totally be sporting a Team Jordan shirt, though. waaahh!
Stay on your toes, Corey!
That's awesome!! And look how you've closed the gap there in the points department! :)
Smart little cookie. I remember my oldest, now 25, when I first showed her helium balloons. I let them go and they floated to the ceiling. "Woah!" she thought, "that's not right". The gift of life is precious!
I like the ketchup comment. I once broke up with a girl the same way:
me: "I can't see you anymore"
her: "why not?"
me: "cuz I only like girls with ketchup... and you're crazy"
Almost the same. Way to go, Jordan!
Ha! Caleb, that was so funny I had to read it to Jordan. And she cracked up!
Perfect. When I do something similar I almost want to tell Son afterwards just to re-inforce my little victory... then I try to remember I'm meant to be the adult!
LOL! Nice one Mommy! :)
