One Sunday when Evangelina & I went to Dr. Prodan's house to pick up Jadon & Mommy after his lesson, Evangelina said she wanted to go into the house. She went on her own & came back out to the car with a tissue in hand, filled with chocolate-covered sunflower seeds (courtesy of a jar on Dr. Prodan's coffee table). There also were quite a few in her mouth already, & we've been getting on her to ask us before she eats anything, so I asked her, "Did you ask Daddy if you could eat that?"
Her quick answer was [the obvious], "No."
With a knowing face, I then asked her, "Did you ask Mommy?"
She sheepishly replied, "No.... may I have some Daddy?"
I told her, "Yes, just a little bit," & she dutifully wrapped the rest of it "for Mommy & Daddy."
A little later, she asked me, "Daddy, how did you know I didn't ask Mommy?"
I replied, "Because I'm your Daddy."
Still curious, she asked, "Did Jesus tell you?"
Smiling, I said, "Something like that."
With a tone of disappointment, she said, "Awwwww..."
