For once, I just want her to acknowledge that I might know the answer
There's this commercial on the radio here that has caused undue angst for my family.
The commercial is for a car dealership, and at several points they have a group shout "Call Bankston!", only it does't sound like "Bankston," it sounds more like Freeston. I figured out the correct name by listening to the rest of the commercial, something Jamie doesn't bother to do.
The girls always shout out the part along with the group, and they were always shouting out the wrong word. Once I figured out the correct name, I tried to tell them what it really was. jamie didn't believe me, argued, and kept shouting the wrong things anyway, until one day I lost it and told her to say it right or say nothing at all. Not my finest moment, but I was pissed that she couldn't just take my word, for once.
The other day in the car, my mother asked Jamie what she was saying. Jamie told her that she says "Call Bankston," but that isn't what they really say. They really say something different, but Mama doesn't want her to say that.
Four years old, and my daughter is already telling me what I want to hear and thinking I'm an idiot.
