I was floored. I asked her to repeat what she said once
again and when she did with yet another really silly grin on her face, I guffaw
my heart out. It was especially ironic, considering that she had just been
given a light reprimand just 10 minutes prior for smearing and playing with the
tub of calendula cream (there was cream everywhere and all over her!) I was using on her brother.
It must have been random, but I thought she seemed to have
gotten the context right! It made me wonder where she could possibly have heard that
sentence from.
That same evening, just as I settled her into her usual
bedtime routine of watching TV before she goes to bed, I realized where she had
gotten that script from. It was from a movie called “Rio”. And all along, I
never thought she paid any attention after 10 or 15 minutes into the show. (And
to be really honest, I had not noticed that before)
Coming from a 2 year old, I thought the whole thing was
hilarious! By the same token, I guess this was just the debut on more
kids-say-the-darnest-thing moments to come.
