Pyshic Children Make Me Nervous
I AM A WINNER!
No, really.
I wrote this post last week, seriously upset that I had been promising Alexis a trip to Kennywood for months, but had yet to make good on it. I happened to mention the whole thing to Mr. Husband during a phone call, to which he responded, "Isn't this weekend our last chance for a while?"
He was right. Our weekends are booked solid for the next several weeks.
So we made the executive decision to ignore all the things we needed to do this past Saturday and instead surprise Alexis with a day at the amusement park. We never mentioned it to her. In fact, we never even discussed it when in the same zip code as her.
And, yet, she knew.
She woke up Saturday morning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, all ready to go. When pressed, she would ask if we were going to Kennywood.
HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
I can't figure out where I left my car keys, but she can figure out where we're going without us even mentioning it?
I think she has the phones tapped. There is no other explanation.

If I wake up busy tailed on Saturday morning, will you take me some place special?
Psychic? I doubt it. Jedi? I can hear her now, "You will take me to Jabba, I mean, Kennywood". Yep, definitely a Jedi.
Looks like she enjoyed it much more than last time! Glad you guys got to go!
Yay! So glad you were able to make the trip! :)
Perhaps you should ask Alexis about lottery numbers! ;)
smart kid!
The joy on her face is awesome!
@mambo101--It's pretty much what I live for. :-)
That smile! Enough to stop a mama's heart. :-D So, so, so glad it worked out (and a little bit glad she got to enjoy the anticipation of hearing you say "YES! We're going today!")
Excellent! Glad you got to go. I agree, seeing our children's joy is the best thing in the world! And a great, hearty, full-bellied laugh of a child. :-) Absolutely wonderful!
This does not bode well for her teen years.
I looked too closely at her picture and for a minute I thought she was trying to mind control me. Clearly she has special powers.
