So, we were out and about this afternoon and, as we were returning to our vehicle, Luke put Lily down so that I could put her in her seat. Well, she decided to make a run for it. She has been 'spoken to' about this before but it has not made much of an impression yet. So after grabbing her arm to prevent her from being hit by the car that was backing out in front of us, I gave her a 'stern talking to' as I was putting her in her car seat. I 'very calmly' asked her, "Do you know what would have happened to you if that car had hit you?!" She looked at me very pathetically and quietly responded, " I would be flattened like a pancake..."
I managed to get into my seat before I burst into silent fits of hysterical laughter. I was hoping she would think the shaking of my shoulders was indicative of my crying at the near accident instead of mirth at her precociousness but then she started gleefully repeating the phrase. I think the lesson was lost on her...again.
