The Con

Our toddler is a con artist.  Tonight at dinner she got in trouble for putting a piece of shrimp in her mouth, chewing it a little, opening her mouth, and letting the shrimp fall on the floor.  After her daddy told her no she sat there a minute and then started crying hysterically to the point that we thought something was wrong. 

Daddy got her out of her high chair and she immediately held her arms out for mommy (typical of her unhappy or hurt behavior, just wants mommy).  Daddy brought her over to me and I sat her on my lap to find out what was wrong. 

Well, we had shrimp stir fry for dinner with crunchy noodles on top.  Em loves crunchy noodles, but we wouldn't give her any more.  I had the crunchy noodles in front of me. 

As soon as she got on my lap she reached for the crunchy noodles, stopped crying, and asked for a crunchy noodle!  Because she is spoiled she got some and then the stinker said "Emma feels better."  Glad to know a crunchy noodle solves everything! 

Daddy and mommy got played!
