Unbreakable

Not too long ago, my four-year-old daughter accidentally broke a rather special picture frame while being naughty.

Some days later,  she brought home her new class picture from pre-school. When I suggested we frame it, she jumped from my lap and threw the picture onto the floor.

My wife couldn't believe her eyes. “Why ever would you do a thing like that?” she asked.

“Well,” said the little one, “Like this it doesn't break.”

I must admit...the thought that our four-year-old may already be smarter than we are is somewhat disturbing.
