Cover of Fancy Nancy
My youngest isn’t a bookworm like my oldest. She reads but we struggle to find things that hold her interest. A couple of years ago, I heard an interview on NPR about the Fancy Nancy books. I thought that these sounded right up my youngest child's isle. On Tuesday evening, we go every Tuesday, we went to the library and I grabbed a couple of the books.
I sent her to put the book away and she comes back with the second Fancy Nancy book. She then says, I want to read this one to see if I hate it too. Score one for Dad. Actually I am pretty good at reading my kids and I don’t think I have suggested something that they ended up not liking yet. I love that she wouldn’t admit that I was right. She is just like her mom.

She wanted to see if she hated the second one as well? Just like a kid!
Think you won that battle, Dad.
Alex-when I was a child my parents knew less than nothing. When I was a teen the knew nothing, by 20 they knew a little. At 30 I realized how much they did know. They learned a lot in 10 years.
ahahaha ... so young and already difficult to handle :)
It's lovely when kids are smart and cunning. I was totally different as a kid. Peaceful and calm and well-mannered, but that way you can actually manipulate the adults in a much more easier way.
Dad just won :) I'm yet to adjust myself to kid's behavior, but I see that you have your ways :D
My daughter just brought home a Fancy Nancy book from the library...will be reading it tonight with her at bedtime. One of her best friends is a big Fancy Nancy fan, so that probably motivated it. We'll see how it is. :)
Awesome post. I love the "I want to..see if I hate this one too." Hilarious.
