Excuses

Ava's getting good at them.  From last night:

At clean up time:

Me: Ava, come pick up your books.
Ava (innocently, with head cocked slightly): I think my body a little bit wants to play.

At bedtime, as Daniel got ready to leave the room:

Ava: I'm hungry.
Daniel:  You just had a piece of bread.
Ava: I'm thirsty.
Daniel:  You just had a sippy cup of milk.
Ava (thoughtfully):  I need somethin.'

How about a guilt trip? Would a good parent give her a guilt trip?
