BIG PROBLEM

Our Mimi bless her little heart is smart as the dickens. Yes I know that I am biased, but it is true. Part of her kindergarten curriculum is that she has to spend at least 10 minutes or more reading to mom or dad. The problem for Mimi is mom knows Mimi way to well. Mom lets Mimi pick out the book she wants to read and mom also knows what words Mimi knows and recognizes. These are words such as : and, in, at, the ... and so forth. Mimi knows that mom knows that Mimi knows these words and she will play dumb and pretend that she does not know the words. This irritates mom to no end. Have I confused you enough by now??? Well let me tell you, last night while reading, Mimi decided to play that game of S-T-U-P-I-D. Therefore mom told Mimi that she will no longer be playing games on her favorite websites. She could only play Superkids or Starfall. That sent her into the world of disbelief. "NOOOOOO" cried Mimi. "Oh yeah" says mom. Sure enough, as soon as mom laid out the conditions to which Mimi will be able to play her favorite games, Mimi read the words correctly without a hitch. This morning Mimi came running into the bedroom at the ungodly hour of 6:30 a.m. telling mom that "THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER!!! COME LOOK MOM!!!" So mom dragged herself out of bed to see what the problem was to which Mimi pointed and said "Where's the Disney, Nick Jr and Noggin websites?????" To which mom replied "They are gone for now" "Oh good Lord" says Mimi. Mom then proceeded back to bed.
