Careful and Sharing

Me: "Anya, are you being careful?"
Anya: "No."
Thinking she must have misunderstood me because she continues with what she is NOT supposed to be doing, I ask again, "Anya, are you being careful?"
Anya: "No. I'm not being careful."
Me: "Okay, at least you are honest."
Anya: "Yeah."




Me as Anya tries to feed Austria: "Oh Anya, only Mommy or Daddy can feed Austria."
Anya: "No, I want to do it."
Me as Anya and I are fighting over Austria's bowl of oatmeal: "I know you are trying to help, but just let Mommy do it and you can watch."
Anya: "No, share Mommy, share the bowl with Anya!"
I guess all those "sharing" lessons are starting to backfire . . .
