And So It Begins...

The day, that is.

While I was in the other room:

Daughter (6 years old): Abba, can I watch TV?
Me: Eat first.
Daughter: I did.
Me: Have some juice.
Daughter: OK

A minute later:

Daughter: Abba, can I watch TV (Disney or Barbie video) now.
Me: Have some juice.
Daughter: I did
Me: What kind?
Daughter: Water
Me: Have some juice first!

A minute later:

Daughter: Abba, can I watch TV now?
Me: Have some juice.
Daughter: I had some juice.
Me: What kind?
Daughter: Milk.
Me: ...OK.

At least my record at negotiations is more successful than Olmert's:

1. My daughter recognizes me (that will stop when she is a teenager)
2. My daughter keeps (most of) her agreements
3. No terrorism (that projectile vomiting when she was a baby was something else)

My daughter had better keep these, if she expects funding when she is older!

Sure, it sounds fine in English. But what is she saying in Arabic?

It's bad enough when she breaks into gibberish and claims she is speaking Spanish...
