These days one of the most common things I say to D is - "Enough with the smart answers!". For anything I have to say to her, especially when I am angry and trying to get a point across, her strategy is to pick at the one thing out of place in my comment, and "smartly" point it out ! For example,
Me: Careful with those pants
D: But I'm wearing jeans amma !
.. You get the idea :).
But this one I had to admire. She was looking through her textbooks(Class I) as I was covering them, and there was an exercise to make sentences about animals (matching animals with some given phrases).. so her first sentence was "The elephant came into the house".
Me: But won't an elephant be too big - see how small our entrance is?
D: Maybe it was a baby elephant !
Me: (Speechless for some time of course) This is one smart answer I really liked ! :).
