Our Future Little Lawyer

Mike and I discussing a news article:

Ella: Come here, we need to talk.

Mike: Do I need to sit down again? (he always has to sit down when Ella has a "talk with him")

Ella: Yes, sit. Now, Daddy, were you arguing with mommy?

Mike: No, we were just discussing something.

Ella: But I heard mommy say you were arguing, so you were arguing. Now, you don't argue with mommy.

Mike: (looking at Ella)

Ella: Don't look at me like that! Now, if mommy said you were arguing, you were. That means you are lying.

Mike: OK, are we finished? Can I get up?

Ella: Yes. You are free.

Mike: That was a better cross examination than some I've seen by lawyers in the courtroom.

Mike to Grant: It's going to be a long childhood for you!
