We Are In Trouble

Well we always knew that Amelia was too clever for her own good and now we have proof. She and I were going to play Candyland today so I told her to get the board ready while I folded the laundry. We started playing and miraculously every turn she got she pulled a character card from the pile, causing her to basically skip the whole board and win in about 6 turns. The little cheat stacked the deck on me. I obviously figured it out pretty quickly but I thought it was funny. She took a lot of brain-power to figure out how to stack it in her favor. I always thought that when she was 16 I would know the tricks that she would try to pull because I pulled a good deal when I was young but now I am pretty sure that she will come up with new ones and outsmart me frequently. But, to be honest, that is one of the qualities I love about Amelia, her ability to come up with and execute a plan. She is my little master manipulator and I love her for it.
