Out-Smarted by My Own Child!

We were going for dinner with some guests when G1 asks, "Where are we going for dinner?"

Me: Well, since we have guests, we should ask them what they would like to eat, right?
G1: (to guest) what would you like to eat?
Guest: How about McDonald's? Why don't you ask your Mum if that's okay?
G1: (looks at me)

G1: But you said we should eat what our guests want...

Blah! Smarty pants!

G1 - 1.
Mum - 0.

The other thing I never hear is the breaking of dawn - when the birds come out.  It is a sound I never hear during the day because they get d...
