I've Got a Trickster On My Hands

I was getting the kids a drink and Emilia was "helping."

Emilia: I want the Goofy cup.

Me: We don't have a Goofy cup.

Emilia: But I want the Goofy cup.

Me: Nope, you're getting blue.

(I get the drinks and hand her the cup. She looks at it, slightly disappointed)

Emilia: I wanted the Goofy cup.

Me: We don't have a Goofy cup.

Emilia: Sure we do. (pointing in the cabinet) Look--it's right there.

Silly, trusting mom that I am, I look in the cabinet.

Emilia laughs and shouts out,


"I GOTCHA, MOM!"

Then she walks away grinning like a fool, completely pleased with herself for having tricked her mom.
