So, my 7 year old daughter and I are at Six Flags celebrating a good report card last weekend. We park, walk up to the front, and I realize I forgot to get our row number for where we parked. "Oh well", I thought. "Will just have to go hunting when we leave." On the way out, I tell her I forgot to pay attention to where we parked. She assured me that she knew.

We walk to the 2nd parking lot section and the hunt is on. She says, "Oh! We parked over there by the Batman sign!"

I said, "Are you sure?"

She said, "Yes. I remember, we parked by the Batman sign." Ok, I have nothing to go on and I'm not so proud that even when my 7 year old thinks she knows something I don't, I will follow along for a little bit.

So we walk over to this row of cars and I look down the way at the other rows. She says, "We need to go back over here. It's that Batman sign."

I said, "Baby, they ALL have the same Batman signs." I had started to raise my voice a little.

She, in turn, saw my bet and raised me again. Being a little louder and more intense than me, she said, "We need to go back THIS way! I know where I'm going and I KNOW what I'm talking about!"

To which I replied, "Fine!" I started following her thinking, "My god, I very well might be losing this argument." We cross 2 rows of cars and she says, "Over here, this way."

Walking around a big passenger van, there it was. She asked, "Daddy, why are you laughing?" She also started singing the, "I'm so smart!" song in the car.

Good times.

thats sweet

kids(pintsized adults) are sooooo smart...my kids threaten to let me go to the mall alone so i won't be able to come back home
enjoy...they grow up soooooooo fast

That was an excellent story
I have to you for this
thanks for sharing

When my older daughter was 3 1/2, she told me she could drive my mini-van.....I laughed and asked her why did she think that.....she proceeded to tell me just how to get in the van, which key to put in the "hole on the wheel," turn it step on the long thing on the floor so we don't move fast..... including everythinglike turning to look for cars while backing up, moving the stick on the floor.......

Needless to say, I never left my keys where she could get at them or she would have driven away...(probably better than some other drivers)
