A 3 year old tricks her mom using Noah's Ark
My eldest granddaughter has the Fisher-Price Noah's Ark toy set. It has always been one of her favorites. When I was visting a bit over a year ago, I observed her using it to play (trick) her mother.
Rachel's younger sister also loves playing with this toy set, which was in Rachel's room. This room was a mess of toys scattered all over the floor. Her mother asked her to pick things up. Well, Princess Rachel wasn't much in the mood for "picking up." Lauren had been playing with the Ark set. Mom asked Rachel "Do you want the Ark anymore or should I put it in Lauren's room?"
"I'm done with it, you can take it to her room" Rachel replied immediately and without looking up, continuing to play with her new kitchen. Mom promptly picked it up and moved it into the other bedroom.
Mom had no more than turned the corner when Rachel said quietly to me "It's OK. I'll get it back when I want it."
Kids are incredibly smart, even at very young ages. She'd simply "played" her mom into doing something she didn't want to do herself.
The next morning, Noah and his Ark were safely back in Rachel's room.
I love being grandpa!
Shalom,
