So last night, I was lying on Alex's bed while she was playing with her MegaBloks (sort of like Legos on steroids). Suddenly, without warning, she hurled one of her blocks at my leg, bouncing it neatly off my shin.
The blocks are too small to hurt; however, I couldn't let such behaviour go unaddressed. I looked at her, all prepared to give her my "we don't throw things" speech. As I opened my mouth, my little cherub of a two-year-old looked at me, grinned, and said quietly:
"BULLSEYE."
I have no idea where she got that word -- it's certainly not something I say, nor have I ever heard her father say it. All I do know, however, is that This Does Not Bode Well.

Oh No!! Where do they get these things?! Too funny. 8^)

Ahhhhh!!!! That is too funny.
I swear that they all have a manual that we are not privy to.

love it! and if you ask me, it bodes ok, in that you will surely not be bored with her around!

My 2 year old did the same thing, but actually hit my husband on his upper eye lid and gave him a black eye. It was interesting for him to explain that at work. :)

I giggled, I'm sorry ... but yes, my daughter was about 2 years old when she stunned us with her first sarcasm.
We were so proud.
By 14 she was a lawyer ... and not on the side of good. Now she has a 2 year old ... who seems a handful, if all else fails wait until you're a granny :)

I heart Alex.

Bahahaha!
Take heart. My mother's first taste of what was in store for her came as she passed my bedroom one morning - I was about two, too - as we were getting ready to go somewhere, and she heard me say as I struggled to stuff my foot into my sneaker...
"These FRIGGIN' SHOES!!!!"

She is too cute and hilarious for words.
And speaking of the opposite traits, for some reason I couldn't leave a message on the Survivor post. But please know it will be very extremely boycotted con queso around here. Plus we'll spread the please-watch-something-else-at-that-time-preferably-Grey's-Anatomy word.

What a scamp! I remember when my son (now 24) was about 2, we were driving up the road when a jerk cut us off. My husband leaned on the horn, and my son said, "Come on, asshole!"
