Smart Baby Saves Stupid Parents

It was a Friday night. Maggie's parents had brought her home later than usual. Daddy started dinner while Momma got Maggie settled in her highchair. Daddy heated up some pasta in a skillet and put bread with olive oil and cheese in the oven. Momma & Daddy sat down at the table with Maggie and started talking about their day. They were paying more attention to each other's stories than to Maggie, who was content to nibble on some crackers while waiting for dinner. Maggie said, "Uh-Oh." Momma looked on the floor to see where the cracker had landed. There was no cracker. Momma smiled at Maggie, and went back to listening to Daddy tell his story. Maggie said, "Uh-Oh" and pointed. Again, Momma saw no cracker on the floor. So she smiled at Maggie and parroted, "Uh-Oh." Maggie then said "UH-OH" and pointed with urgency toward the kitchen. Finally, Maggie's parents turned to see what Maggie was pointing at, and they discovered that the bread was on fire!
Maggie's parents have vowed to listen better to their very smart little girl.
(P.S. Birthday pictures are coming soon!)

LOL - Maggie is SUPER smart! Judging by her parent's reaction to the situation, you wonder where she got those smart genes...! :P Nah, just kidding. She got 'em from her Mom. :)
Love, the Yady

PS: and her dad threw in a couple too. :)
