call mensa

i try not to brag about my kidlets, really i do. but yesterday, thing one did something that makes me think she just might be gifted. 

i'd served the gals each a piece of birthday cake (vegan AND tasty, thank you very much), then ducked downstairs to move the laundry mountain a few feet. when i came back to the kitchen, i saw that josie had managed to remove every molecule of pink frosting on her piece with surgical precision, leaving the cake/frosting vehicle/brown junk completely intact.

it was a thing of beauty. i was so proud. even i, the frosting lover of all time, could not have done such a good job, and i told her so. (praise your children when they do something right! the books say.) it warms a mother's heart.
