It's NOT your fault!


I just have to write this down. Lucy doesn't quite understand what the phrase, "It's not your fault" means.
Often when she is upset at something she will say, "It's not your fault!". When we ask, "Whose fault is it?" She will insist that, "It's MY fault!" Sometimes we tease her and say things like, "Actually I think it's Daddy's fault" and she will get upset with us and say once again, "NO. It's MY fault!"

The other day when we working in the garden, she turned to me and said, "Mom, I don't think that's the best idea."

Another funny thing she said was when I told her she could have just one more piece of candy her response was, "I can respect that."

This 2 1/2 year-old cracks us up!

Lucy's "No, it's MY fault!" comment made me think of that story that you told me forever ago that I've never forgotten and laughed about a lot since. It's the one where one of your students would say, "I'm frustrating" and you would reply, "Yes, you are" and then he'd get more emphatic, "No I'm REALLY FRUSTRATING!" and you'd laugh and agree again, and on and on. Sometimes I want to say that to my girls when they're driving me up the wall. :) What a cute girly you have there!
