making faces

So it's time for bed, and first Thomas peeks his head around the corner. Tells momma he loves her, and gets tucked back into bed. Next, Eleanor doesn't peek, she just walks right out.

Eleanor: Mom, it's too bright, I can't sleep.
Dad: So turn the light off
Mom: switch the lights, put the one on the stairs on
Eleanor: Then it will be too dark, I won't be able to see
Mom: So leave the light on then
Eleanor: but then it will be too bright...
Dad: make a decision, you either have the light on, or off, there is no in between.
Eleanor: {throws a dirty look}
Mom: don't look at him that way...
Eleanor: Hmmmphh

She's 51/2. Why do I get the feeling that I will be spending the next 10 years getting that look?

actually, yes, but it is something totally different getting it from a 5 year old.
