I don't hold my sarcastic sense of humor a virtue, pretty much agreeing that it's the lowest form of humor. But that said, I work with what I've got.
What I wasn't expecting was not only Beeps picking up sarcasm, but also applying the bitter oil and vitriol needed on her own to make her caustic observations so effective. (Remember, she's 7.)
Case in point: we drove past an adult novelties shop recently, its name on the outside only ADULT STORE. italics won't do this justice, but from the backseat, we hear:
"Ohhh. I'd bet that store is the best."
Sorry, world. And I mean that with sincerity.

Sorry, this isn't the photo thread, but I think this sums up Ava's attitude to her sister much of the time...

We then asked her what items she thought were being sold inside hat adult store, and she replied, "I dunno, shaving things?"
Oh, the stifling.

She says it when she sees Francie after she's done squealing or making that Sleestack hissing noise she makes when she gets excited about something.

Awesome! My first word was "kit-cat" and my daughter's first word was our cat's name.

After having taken a picture of him, our 6 year old son:
"Don't put that on facebook!"
After asking him what facebook was:
"It's where everybody sees what you're doing"
― silverfish, Monday, 19 January 2015 16:08 (eleven years ago)
Aw. We have a little private "K channel" for friends and family only to avoid putting lots of photos of K in public FB feeds. I always wonder at what point it's going to annoy her that we do it.
