At Gunpoint
My two year old daughter just swaggered up behind me, belly thrust out over her pull-up. She gave me a one-eyed squint and ordered me to "Stick up!"
When I raised my eyebrow, she put both hands over her mouth and tee-hee'd elaborately for a moment. "Oh, I forgot," she said.
"Stick up!" She reached into her diaper and after a moment of rummaging around extracted a whale shaped squirt gun, which she brandished at me. "Up! Mama, up!"
"What are you going to do? Squirt me?" I was genuinely curious.
"Oh, I forgot." She tapped the muzzle, ah, snout of the whale against her pursed lips, eyes searching the ceiling for some fitting conclusion to this episode. "Mama!"
"Yes?"
"Stick up!" I throw my hands in the air again.
"Milk, please."
"Okay, but only because you said please."

That is one of the cutest stories, ever. "Oh, I forgot." Sooooo cute. And those are just the words, I know she's adorable.

In my house you would have definitely gotten a crotchful of fluid. Not everything that goes into a water gun is water. Don't ask.

I see a future of holding up 7-11's for a gallon of Hood coming her way!

I was very releived to read that it was a SQUIRTGUN she pulled out of her diaper.
She sounds like a big-time cutie pie.

I have to agree with Meghan... I was very apprehensive about exactly what was going to come out of the diaper rumaging... glad it to hear it wasn't something that required extensive cleaning.
cute story. Love that she held you up for milk.

A cute girl with a gun, willing to bare her belly? I see much trouble in your future!

I was just so relieved when my 2 year old started talking (almost a full year behind her brother) that she can get away with almost any request as long as it is either intelligible or is not delivered at a full shriek (her specialty). Your daughter sounds charmingly rakish and articulate (like you)!
I just found your blog and am realy enjoying it.
