My sweet manipulator

Today I was trying to get things done (aka lying in bed watching Netflix) when Savannah walked in and showed me the paper she'd colored with a purple marker. Then she mentioned, "You know, if you wash this purple it turns pink."

"How do you know that Savannah?"

"I love you Mom."

"I love you too. How do you know that about the marker."

"I just really love you a lot Mom."

"Savannah, tell me what you did."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"You'll get very, very mad so you just can't know."

Eventually I weaseled it out of her that she'd colored all over her hands. That was WAY better than I expected. 

I should have known, an unprompted 'I love you' is usually a bad sign.
