You're a GENIUS!!!!

Okay. So interestingly enough, Eve started calling Naomi a genius... but it wasn't intended to be a compliment. Somehow Eve watched something or heard someone say something like "You're such a genius" in a sarcastic way to imply that the person was doing something pretty lame.

So she thought the word meant something negative. Like calling someone a "dummy."

Of course, that means that Naomi thinks the word means something similar. And if Eve is calling Naomi a genius, we're not going to stop her. In fact, we might even laugh, which would only encourage Eve further.

The resulting conversation sounded something like this (along with dozens of similar conversations that Eve has had with Naomi and us since then)...


Eve: "You're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"

Naomi: "No, you're a genius!"

Eve: "No, you're a genius!"


And I can't help but laugh and agree with both of them, which only fuels the fire. =^)

Of course, we've told Eve what "genius" means, but the damage has been done. She knows it's funny, so she shall continue...


Eve: "Daddy, you're a genius!"

Me: "Yes. Yes I am."
