It's Not Fair

Sunday when I was making dinner for my family, Emily comes over with a chair and stands next to me by the stove. "I want to help," she says. I love having a little helper, and she really is just a joy to have around in the kitchen, but I had just burned my finger so I just wanted to get dinner done so I could sit down and keep my finger in freezing cold water (I got it pretty good). So I said, "You would help Mommy most if you would go sit down in your chair." Well, Emily wasn't happy with that answer so she says, "It's not fair. I want to help." I couldn't believe she said that. It's not fair? Where did she get that. I finally remembered where that came from as I was putting the DVD into the player. The Evil Magician on "Frosty the Snowman" says to Santa, "It's not fair. Evil magicians have to make a living too." The positive side of things, Emily getting better and better and being able to carry on a conversation.
