On an excursion at Home Depot:Breadwinner:OK Princess, I expect you to behave. (this is a tactic that I use and it works for me)
Princess:Why? Mommy's not here.

On an car ride to the Breadwinner's office:Princess:I want to go see Grammie. (this is the breadwinner's mom -- my mom is called Lola)
Breadwinner:You do?
Princess:Yeah, I want Grammie to give me stickers.
Breadwinner:Do you want to go see Grammie because you love her or because you want stickers?
There's a pause while she thinks about it.Princess:I want the stickers.

Ha! She's funny!
Isn't it funny when they say such 'grown' up things.
Too funny! Of course, much funnier because it's not my 4 year old saying it. :)
You gotta admire the brutal honesty of a four year old.
"I want the stickers." hhahahah. If I ever miraculously get the time to post, I have a super funny thing to add to this (way too long for comments).
That is awesome - the Princess cracks me up!
I think you have your hands full!
These "language shots" are so perfect! I love the one about not having to behave because you weren't there. I got out the RT's journal the other day and read some of the entries I wrote about his language development and was cracking up. I had forgotten some of it!
Honesty is a beautiful thing! I like when my niece told my brother's business partner that he looked like a pig.
It sounds like your Princess needs to meet my Ironflower, I think they would have a lot to talk about!
