Is My Kid Smart?

Or am I just easily impressed?

We are having ‘alone time’ right now (a.k.a. nap time, but Alethea seems to resent the implication that she might need a nap, so I tell her, “That’s fine, you don’t have to take a nap, but Mommy needs to be alone right now,” hence the ‘alone time’.)

Anyway, the tornado sirens just went off because it is the first Wednesday of the month.

This is what I overheard from Alethea’s room:

“Sirens!”

pause

then in a perplexed little voice:

“But it’s sunny outside!”

I was surprised at the reasoning skills she must have been using, but I’m her mother, so like I said, I realize that I may just be easily impressed.

  1. Now, as Alethea’s Grandmother, of course she’s smart! I’m wondering if back in her “Hear Sirens, Watch TV” days, you said something about the weather being sunny outside – therefore no need for sirens, no need for tv. Just a thought.
