On Sunday, I asked Annabelle, "Where is the refrigerator?" because last week (maybe Friday), I asked her where the refrigerator was, and she walked herself right into the kitchen from the office to point out the refrigerator to me.
So, on Sunday, as I was washing dishes, I asked Annabelle, "Where is the dishwasher?" She looked around for a minute, and she approached the dishwasher as if she was going to point to the dishwasher, but then, instead, she looked up at me and pointed directly at me. I just laughed because I thought it was too funny.
I said, "No, Mommy is not the dishwasher" and I just laughed. So, she laughed too. She thought that was funny. I told her, "Mommy is washing the dishes, but I am not the dishwasher." I pointed out the dishwasher to her.
I tell her all the time whenever I am washing dishes that "Mommy is washing the dishes," so something about "dish" and "wash" must have clicked for her, so she must have thought that was what I was asking her.
Of course, I had to call her Daddy to tell him too, and he thought it was hilarious. Of course, what man wouldn't, right?
Boy, she has a lot to learn, doesn't she? If I believed in reincarnation, I still would swear that she is my MamaGordon reincarnated. And, I only say that it is fitting for this particular occurence because my MamaGordon was born in 1902. In the sense that she thought her Mommy was the "dishwasher," that probably has nothing to do with MamaGordon's personality at all as my MamaGordon was a very independent woman. Not that she would have ever claimed herself to be a "feminist," because these duties were definitely hers as the woman of the household. However, if she had been born in the 70's or 80's, I think that she also would feel that these duties should be shared.

Wow! She learns something new each and every day!She will be grown before you know it! Be sure and tell her what the Christmas Tree is, and to show it to you know who!
Your "Mommy Dishwasher" story reminds me of another funny story: I was babysitting 3 year old Liana and she kept flipping her dress all the way up, showing off her panties. I would put her dress down and tell her, "nobody wants to see your panties, so keep your dress down", and as soon as I put her dress down she would lift it all the way up again. I would say again, "Liana, nobody is interested in looking at your panties, so let's keep your dress down, OK?" And I would put her dress down again. Liana laughed (she is an absolutely adorable little girl!) and lifted her dress high up over her head this time. I walked over to her and said, "put your dress down, goofy!" and I started laughing. She looked at me with an angry glare in her eyes (very out of characted for her!), put both hands on her hips, stuck her neck out and yelled back at me, "I'm not Goofy! I'm Minnie Mouse!" Hee Hee Hee.....out of the mouths of babes, right?!?
