Anand says I "mess" with August's head. I think it's great that she won't let me do it for very long. When she had just turned two, I told August that I was August and Dada was Mama. She looked confused for about 30 seconds but then she caught on to the game.

This past weekend I asked her the following:
Connie: Who do you like better, Mama or Dada?
August: Dada!
Connie: I'm very sad that you said that.
August: I like Mama better.
Connie: First you said Dada. So which one is it? Do you like me better or Dada?
August: [very long pause] I like Mama and Dada.

Two days later:
Connie: What's prettier, short hair or long hair?
August: Short hair is prettier.
Connie: Who has long hair?
August: Mama.
Connie: Who has short hair?
August: Dada
Connie: Who has prettier hair, Mama or Dada?
August: Ummmmm, Spiderman!
