Me: Zoe, would you put the milk away?

Zoe: "Mom, why do you make me do everything like Cinderella?"

Me: (No response)

Zoe: "You make me put the milk away, you make me go to school, you make me do lots of things!"

Me: (No response)

She dropped it and moved on to something else.


Two lessons from this little episode:

1) Silence is golden.

2) Next time, I'll say please!

3) Taking her the theater to see "Cinderella" obviously has it's drawbacks.
