Vocabulary Queen

The TV remotes are off limits to the girls. So is the TV unless they have permission. But the other day Grace thought she'd get smart and try to do it herself. Clicking away with the remote (facing backwards no less) she actually hit the right button and got the TV to change channel. Hannah jumped up and down excitedly exclaiming, "Grace, You're a genius!" Then she turned to me and added, "And you're a genius too, Mom!" Surprised at this new word, I asked "How about you, Hannah? Are you a genius too?" She tilted her little head to one side and thought about it for a minute. Then she rolled her eyes and said with a hint of disgust in her voice, "No. . . I'm just difficult."

Hi I got here through noothername. We use the parental control on our tv A LOT. It's worth setting up as the children get older. We v-chip all content we don't want the youngens to see and sometimes set the timer feature on the off chance we get distracted. Can't imagine us being distracted. Be careful with your genius child. It didn't take long for our genius to figure out the code was my birthday and the we had to get creative. Bummer when I forget the new one!
