"You have a very determined daughter"

I am always greeted with some entertaining story of Audrey when I pick her up at daycare. Today, the director was in with Audrey's class, and was sitting next to Audrey on the floor, who was busy crawling in a different direction. The director greeted me by saying,

"You have a very determined daughter."

Me: "How so?"

Director: "My cell phone rang and since it was my mom, and she never calls during work hours, I answered it to make sure it wasn't an emergency. Audrey heard the cell, saw it, and immediately climbed over me to reach for it. She then tried to talk to my mom."

Me: "Yeah, she always wants to grab the phone to talk to her grandparents, but then she won't."

Director: "What does she do instead?"

Me: "She licks the phone."

Director: "Yep, that's what she did with mine, too."

Me: "Audrey Ruby!" (big grin from the red head)

We'll be working on manners next.
