Ivy-isms: Smart
This is in the kitchen after dinner. I'm washing dishes, Chris is helping me and Ivy has just finished and is getting down from the table.
Ivy: Mommy! You left your napkin on the table!
Me: Oops I guess I did. Will you throw it away for me?
Ivy: That's so silly Mommy! You shouldn't do that.
Me: Oh well, sometimes I forget things.
Ivy: Yeah. That's not smart to forget things Mommy!
Me: .....
Chris: (giggling)
Me: Well everyone forgets stuff sometimes Ivy. (whispering) Shut it Chris!
Ivy: Do you know what smart is Mommy?
Me: ......
Ivy: It's when you don't forget stuff! You forgot your napkin and you forget stuff when we leave in the morning and go back inside and get it!
Chris: (muffled laughter)
Me: ....(is this really happening?)
Ivy: You shouldn't forget so much stuff Mommy and then you can be smart.
Chris: Tell her about it Ivy.
Me: (to Chris) Have you guys been rehearsing this?
