She's always right

The other night, Julia and I had an argument regarding the silliest of things. Being the precocious five year old that she is, I should have known immediately that Julia was right. She's always right, ya know? Pick your battles and all that jazz...

She said she was watching a movie that she thinks was called "Charlie's Web." After investigation from her father and I, we determined that the movie did indeed have a talking pig, some other animals including a "very nice friendly" sheep and even - imagine - a talking spider. But, when we presented her with the idea that perhaps the movie was called "Charlotte's Web," we were shunned.

No, it was Charlie's Web. Of this, my five year old is now certain. There will be no further discussion. She knows what she's talking about.

Forget the fact that Charlotte's Web is one of my favorite books of all time, and that we went and saw the movie in the theaters when it first came out a couple years ago. No, clearly since we were not there with her the other night, we do not know which movie this was that she watched, and so obviously Julia is right - the one she was watching was called Charlie's Web.

....

Just now, we had an *even stupider* argument about the song on the CD. She insists that it skipped from "Five Green and Speckled Frogs" right down to TWO of them! Frogs four and three were skipped right over in the song! *gasp* Never mind that Julia was talking and playing during this part of the song... she couldn't have possibly missed it. It just didn't play that part.

Being the stubborn mother that I am, we replayed the song just so we could rest assured that indeed all parts of the Five Speckled Frog song were there on the CD. Whew, so glad to report that they are.

But, still? Julia maintains that when we listened to it just a while ago, it skipped right over that part. Something must be wrong with the CD player, and we need to have dad look at it when he gets home.

....

I wish I could be right some of the time!
