Out smarted by a 4 year old

Well the castaway box made its way back to me. I was going throught the box and my 2 daughters were looking at the blanks. Angelina (8 year old) found one she liked and wanted to make a pen from it. That was fine with me. Marley (4 year old), said she wanted to make her pen with a different blank. So I put them to the side, and finished going through the box. Angelina and I prepped the blanks, while Marley "supervised". Yesterday I finished the one Marley picked out, assembled the pen. Well started calling it her pen. I asked her how it was her pen, and she said "Daddy, when I picked out the blank, I asked, can we use this blank to make my pen." I told her I thought she mean the one she wanted to see made, and I got the line, "Well Daddy that's not what you promised me." I guess I was outsmarted by a 4 year old.

Wait till she gets to 14.....then the real problems will start. You just were out played and honestly...... "Daddy never had a chance."
I can't say 'NO' to my little girl either. (She is 20)

Just keep smiling.......the best is yet to come.

My girls are in their 40's and still grab whatever I turn when they are here. It never gets old, got to love them. Robbie

On the same coin but the flip side my son is grown and out on his own. Ever since he left for college my wife stopped cooking some of the better meals except for when "The Boy" comes home. I was talking to a friend about this and he said he started calling his son and asking him how a chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes sounded and he would always say great. Then he would then say "Why don't you call your mom and tell her to whip some up" and presto. This works every time. My son is now 35 and the "Good Meals" are always when he comes home. I guess on my wifes behalf I should say that her not cooking the same since he moved hasn't hurt my waist line.
