The Wink is a labor of love, occasional source of ire and constantly influenced by the toddlywinks in my life- my daughters. There's also the HunkyWink. You'll read all about them as The Wink unfolds. Please feel free to wink back!

She asks, she scores

We return to the Wink girls and their mom and the never-ending one-upmanship of toddler logic.

Briar: Mom, let me ask you a question.

Long pause.

Briar: Why can't I have chocolate on the toilet?

I smile.

Briar: Is it because you are afraid I am going to throw it in the toilet?

I smile again, not really sure how to answer.

Briar: Yes! It is! You're afraid I'll throw it in the toilet.

She walks away so satisfied that once again, the point is awarded to Briar.

Smart kid.

When I worked full time it's possible that, once or twice, I finished my toast whilst simultaneously peeing in order to save time.

Ahhh yes the silent answer, if you wait them out it is pretty funny to see what they can come up with. That Briar, she is a funny little cookie.

Ah. This is where I give my semi-hysterical and oft-quoted speech "WE DO NOT EAT IN THE BATHROOM IN THIS HOUSE."
