Sending my daughter to school this morning.



    Me: Did you borrow some books from the library yesterday?
    (Thursday is their library day)

    Md: Yes, I got 2 books.

    Me: What books are they?

    Md: Angelina Ballerina

    Me: and....

    Md: 2 Angelina Ballerina books, because I like Angelina Ballerina...

    Me: I see, why don't you borrow one Angelina Ballerina and a different book?

    Md: But I like Angelina Ballerina...

    Me: You won't know whether you like others unless you read them....by borrowing other books as well you'll find out whether you like other books too.

    Md: I think
    (her 'think' means she had thought it over), I'll borrow Angelina Ballerina; when I'm finished with all Angelina Ballerina, I'll borrow other books.

    Me: Hmmm...how many Angelina Ballerina books are in your school library?

    Md: I don't know....a lot.



Did my 5 years old just outwit me with her own reasoning? I still love the way children think.
