They giveth and they take it away-ith

So little Miss "I'm now four and a half so where is my party," has just pulled out the best lines (she's good at that).  After repeatedly asking her if she needs to go to the toilet, I try and rip her away from a "screen" to get her to come and choose her own ice block.  Well in true style she loses it.  Who wouldn't, she's literally doing the highland fling while trying to tell me that she shouldn't have to show me which ice block she wants, because I should just know.  Anyway she then retorts something about not being able to show me because she needs to go to the toilet!  No kidding Sherlock.  After said visit to the toilet she meets me at the freezer, bear in mind I have already told her she is no longer having an ice block after yelling at me.  So she bats her eyelids a few times, puts on those puppy dog eyes and we negotiate the ice block she wants.  I hand it to her and she tells me "you are the best mother ever!!!"  What a greaser, however under her breath she mutters "well, maybe not!"  "Ah excuse me?  I heard that!  Why am I not the best mother ever?"  "Well" she says "you pulled an angry face and me".  Seriously I can't win with this girl sometimes.  Ice block in hand she retreats where she doesn't have to be subjected to my annoyed rants.

Sometimes I think she is far too clever for her own good!
