Like Father, Like Daughter #3

April 23, 2009 by Amy

Don’t know what #1 and 2 were?  Go here.

Honest to goodness this is starting to concern me.

We’re in the van on the way home from dinner tonight and Emma asks if we can buy sparkly pipe cleaners at the store this weekend so we can make ALL KINDS of crafts with them.  Then Lexi pipes up.

“Mommy, can we PLEASE buy some toilet cleaner?” Really?  I mean, out of nowhere she asks for this.

“Are you talking about the things that make the water blue?”  It’s the only thing I can figure would interest a child.

Emma chimes in, “Mommy, it’s those things that hang on the inside that make the toilet clean.”

Lexi becomes insistent.  “No.  Mommy it’s just toilet cleaner.  I saw it at Marissa’s.  It makes the toilet clean.”

“Don’t you think our toilets are clean?” I say, a little hurt.

“Yeah.” Lexi agrees.

“So you just want them extra clean?”

“Yeah.  Can we get them please?”

Really?  I’m starting to think I should hold her birthday party in the cleaning supply aisle of Wal-Mart.
