Brilliant Parenting Moment

Let me set the scene. We got home yesterday afternoon after a quick stop at Jerry's for many of the recommended ant baits. Danny's job was to deal with the perimeter of the house and mine was to team vacuum with Maya. We moved couches and vacuumed in couches and the whole deal. Outside Danny is in re-con gear spreading ant dust and spray around the house.

We all regather after our chores and Danny starts making supper. Maya gets 2 forks out of the drawer (using the new knobs) to make music. This keeps her entertained for a bit but then starts running renegade in the kitchen. There are ponies underfoot, she is opening cupboards, kind of a whirling dervish of sorts. After stepping on a million of her toys for the billionth time, Danny asks Maya to take her ponies out to the living room. Remember, this is the billionth time. Maya opens a drawer and finds a heart cookie cutter and declares that it is "MINES". Danny looks at her deadpan and says, "I don't care. What did I ask you to do?" I look at him, he looks at me and we start to laugh! Oh, our future! Seriously a brilliant parenting moment!!

And just for giggles...here is a picture of Maya after enjoying Danny's spaghetti.
