An Old Soul Aged 4.5

We were all in bed together, me nursing Jordanne, Beth reading her book.

"I wonder what I should cook for dinner tonight. Rice? Noodles? Bee Hoon?" said I to Beth, expecting some suggestions.

She smiled.

"It's up to you Mum. You're the cook."

Honestly, I sometimes think she's growing too fast for my liking. I tell her she's an old woman in a girl's body.

"It's up to you" ranks up there with other Beth gems like "Whatever" (delivered in a roll-the-eyes deadpan manner like a jaded teen) or "Live and learn, live and learn" (I've no idea where she got that from).
