I Used to Wonder That Myself
October 21, 2008 at 3:43 pm | Posted in Quotes by Clare, Television | 7 CommentsOn a rare occassion I get Clare to turn off cartoons and watch something I want to see. If I’m lucky she’ll even sit through Jeopardy with me before bedtime. I tell her that watching it will make her smarter.
A few days ago, on one of these rare occassions, we were watching Jeopardy and Clare’s Mom and I were doing pretty well with the answers. And after each answer, Clare said, “That’s what I was going to say.”
After Jeopardy, a short promotional spot for the 11 o’clock news came on with some story such as “armed robbery suspect caught…tonight at 11.”
When we turned the TV off, I asked Clare if she had learned anything.
“Yeah,” she said, “but how do they know what’s gonna happen tonight at eleven?”

I’m impressed. You should be scared with smarts like that. Hopefully she’ll use her brains for good rather than evil.
