Passing the buck

Tonight, Daddy and I asked Gillian to get her brother for dinner. He was upstairs in his room. She started to walk toward the stairs and stopped. "I can't do it." Again, we encouraged Gillian to go upstairs to get John. She looked at us, pointed at me and said "Mom can do it!"

During dinner, Gillian didn't really want to eat dinner. She kept starting conversations to keep herself busy. At some point she pointed to my glass and said "I drink that?" I told her, "No, it's Mommy's milk." Gillian shook her head and said "That's not milk! You no drink milk!" She was right. I'm not sure why I said milk. It just came out. I was drinking water. Can't get anything past The Bean.
