Two Conversations about Gift Wrapping with a Three-Year-Old

Two conversations that happened last night.....

Me: Marley, we're gonna wrap Mommy's present, but you have to promise not to tell her.
Her: I promise.
Me: Look me in the eyes, repeat after me "I promise"
Her: I promise
Me: Not to tell Mommy
Her: It's chocolate
Me: No, say "I promise not to tell"
Her: It's chocolate
Me: No, "I promise"
Her: I promise
Me: NOT
Her: To tell Mommy it's chocolate.
Me: No Marley, you have to say the whole thing. Say "I promise"
Her: I promise
Me: Not to tell
Her: Not to tell Mommy
Me: It's chocolate
Her: It's chocolate

So, after that we wrapped up the bars of Marabou and Daim brand chocolate I ordered from Sweden. Marabou is the best chocolate I have ever had in my entire life. Nothing tops it that I've ever had. If you ever see it in a store, buy it. OH MY GOODNESS, it's amazing.

Mickelle already knew that she was getting chocolate...just not how much. This morning she tells me that this was a conversation she had with Marley last night when she came to bed after helping me.

Mommy: Did you help Papi wrap presents?
Marley: It's chocolate...........(3 seconds).....I mean I really like chocolate.

Cute little thing remembered her promise and tried to think of something quick to throw Mommy off the scent. I love her so.
