She's All About Kikis

So my daughter, Mali, Adrian and I were sitting at the table the other night waiting for dinner to finish cooking. Because I had already eaten earlier, I was munching on a cookie (in front of my 2 year old daughter . . . what was I thinking?!) Of course, Mali says in exclamation, "KIKI!!" (her word for cookie) This means that 1) she has noticed it so there is no use trying to hide it or pretend otherwise and 2) she would like one. Immediately I realized the error of my ways in eating a cookie in front of her right before dinner and said, "Ok Mali, you can have one right after dinner." I then proceeded to take the cookies back in the kitchen and put them away so they would be of no further temptation. She seemed to be ok with this and dropped the subject (amazingly). The great thing about having little ones is that they have short memories (or so I thought). So fastforward about 20 minutes . . . we had just finished dinner and were sitting at the table chilling. Adrian and I were in a conversation, and Mali was quietly sitting eating her last few bites. Then Adrian says to me, "Oh Babe, do you think I should get her a . . . " and before Adrian could even finish his sentence, Mali turns to him and says, "Kiki" in the kind of voice that says, "Yes, I am paying attention and don't even think for a minute that I've forgotten about those cookies." Adrian and I burst out laughing and Mali got her precious "kiki." The end.
