No surprises here: Audrey. For outstanding performance in the role of contrarian, nay-sayer and all-around Refusenik. Here's the excerpt from the award ceremonies in case you missed them:
Scott: (tucking Audrey into bed after a particularly contentious bedtime): Good night, Audrey. I love you. Sleep well.
Audrey: I won't!
In a supporting role leading up to this star performance, Audrey responded to the gentle suggestion of our GPS to turn left by saying, "No! We will not!"

ReplyDeleteIt used to be that when I would tell Audrey that I love her, she would respond with "Too! Too! Too! Too! ....," which was her escalation beyond the simple "I love you, too." The sentimentality balance has shifted a bit in recent weeks, though. To wit, while tucking Audrey to bed a few nights ago, we had the following exchange:
ReplyDeleteMe: I love you, Audrey.
Audrey: I love you, too, Dad.
Me: I love you so much. You are my favorite, favorite, favorite little girl in ...
Audrey: (breaking in) Good night, Dad!

If this isn't a good example of those old cliches "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," and "Like mother like daughter," I don't know what is. That's all I'll say ;-) Wonder what MY mother would have said about me....
