So true!
When DD was afraid of burglars coming in the house during the night, I pointed to the houses across the street which are three times larger than ours.
I asked her if she was going to break into a house to steal stuff, which house would she choose.
She smiled as she immediately followed my logic and is not afraid of burglars breaking in anymore.
I roll with it pretty well most times. I really don't know what it was about last night that really tripped me up...........
We've dealt with the existential anxiety thing with both girls too, and they both did seem to "grow" out of it.
The clone thing jammed me up, though, not sure why. Probably has more to do with me than her.......:)
