Little Miss Obstinate

Lily and I went to Paper Plus today to buy her a Mr Man book. They are cheap and quite amusing for us parents who have to read the same book dozens of times and are a bit fed up of Spot Bakes a Cake.

I made the mistake of letting her browse the books first. She didn't really want a Mr Man book, she wanted another one. One costing $16 instead of $4. I bought her Mr Greedy instead. "She didn't really want that book" she said on the way home.

I've read the Mr Greedy book and it is quite funny. Lily however, hasn't. "put it back in the bag" she says whenever it is brought out.

It's very disappointing. She has such a long memory it'll be weeks before we can try Mr Greedy again.
