Toddler with Attitude

Conversation with Kate today:

Carmen: "Kate, did Jodi like your new shoes?"

Kate: -silence-

Carmen: -a little bit louder- "Kate, did Jodi like your new shoes?"

Kate: - silence -

Carmen: "Kate" - pause - , "Did Jodi like your new shoes?"

Kate: "YES." - insert a clearly annoyed tone - "I said that already. Do I need to say it EVEN louder?"

I refuse to think about what the teenage years will be like.
