Alice was a bit ripe this morning, so I decided to give her a bath. Alice, for some reason, did not want a bath. She said “no bath!” and when I tried to carry her from the changing table to the bathroom she gave the standard piteous “nooooo!” with panic in her eye.
However, being the crafty old Dad that I am, I decided to go with an oblique approach. I left Alice in her room while I went in to the bathroom and starting drawing a bath. I didn’t have to wait 20 seconds before a little girl wandered in saying “bath!”. Yes, despite what Mom says, Dad is still able to outwit 2 year olds and his mind is as shapr sas evver.r
