Mom was talking with Madison (about age 4) on the phone one day when Madison began a game she often played with grandma. They had played this game many times in the past.
"My grandpa owns a farm. On that farm he has an animal. The animal is white, yellow and orange."
They had played it enough that when Madison said "White" mom knew it was a dog. When Madison said "White and brown," mom knew it was a cow. When she said "Pink," it was a pig.
Mom barely let her get the colors out when she pounced on the question with the answer "A DUCK!"
Madison was momentarily quiet before she asked, "But how big is the duck grandma?" She was a little mad, I think, that grandma got it so quickly.
"What does that have to do with anything?" she asked.
"How big is the duck grandma?"
"I don't know? What does it matter?"
"How big is the duck grandma?"
"I don't know. Two pounds?"
Madison huffed loudly as grandma was now wrong and she won. "Hmph - No! It's as big as all the other ducks."
Grandma and Stacy had it coming from that point going forward after teasing her so much as a toddler, she was developing her own teasing skills now.
