Gretchen: Mom, can I go outside?
Me: No, I already told you it's too cold out. It's 10 degrees!
Gretchen: But, Mom, it's sunny outside!
Me: Gretchen, that's one.
*I'm thinking here...she's not going to let this go*
Me: Actually Gretchen, yes, you can go outside. Go ahead and step out onto the front porch. See how cold it is. Don't even bother putting your shoes on.
Gretchen: You mean you want my feet to freeze?
Me: Sure, why not?
Gretchen: MOM! Don't start acting like me!
Now that has got to be about the funniest thing my 6 1/2 year old daughter has ever said to me!

That is hilarious! Hmm, the term "too smart for her own good" comes to mind. :) (I understand, I have one of those too!)
