The two year old that knows too much

Listen my friends to a tale of the two-year old that knows too much.

One day as mommy was putting the little girl into the bathtub, she dropped her pacifier in the bubble-filled bathwater. Declaring that it was now "yucky," she thrust it into her mother's line of sight, dangerously close to slamming into her nose. The mother took the pacifier and assured the little girl that they would clean the pacifier and get it all ready for when she got out of the bathtub. Feeling so much better, the little girl declared, "yeah, that's right, mommy! It will be as clean as a whistle!"

On another afternoon, the little girl was playing with one of her favorite Christmas gifts - a toolbox complete with screws, tools, and a drill. Picking up the screwdriver, she placed a screw into one of the holes on the tool bench and said, "OK. Righty tighty." Then she proceeded to screw it into place. Witnessing this, daddy asked, "what did you say?" The little girl declared, "Right tighty" and simultaneously screwed the screw into place.

During dinner one evening, the little girl was sitting at the dinner table with her mommy when she noticed that there was a light bulb that had gone out. She sadly declared, "oh no! the light is broken!" mommy looked up - and sure enough, the light bulb had gone out. The little girl said reassuringing patting her mommy on the hand, "its ok mommy. Grandad will fix it. Let's tell him." And tell him she did - the first time she saw him. Grandad bought a replacement bulb and fixed it when the little girl was down for a nap. When she woke up - she burst through the doors, gave everyone the requisite hug, and declared, "hey, grandad fixed the light!" She then proceeded to go to Grandad and thank him for fixing it.

Today, the little girl was busy digging into her dress-up box - completely dolled up with butterfly wings, a playskirt, and pirate hat - and found the only missing letter from one of the talking alphabet toys that had been missing for QUITE some time. Seeing that it was a "w," the little girl exclaims, "OOOOOHHHH. It's for water!" Mommy and daddy stared at each other for quite some time and said, "did she just see a letter and associate a word to it??"
