I made some green curry thai food with coconut milk. G decided she wanted some. I tried to explain that she would not like it, that it would be bad, and said it was very very hot. She said she would blow on it.

Hmm… not the right adjective.

I told her it was spicy. And got a blank stare in return. She insisted she wanted some. Oh well, the scars of learning need to be branded in sometime.

At first she went mmmm. That was the coconut milk. Then she made a gag face and began licking the couch. I said “spicy”. Several times, just to be clear. Then I offered her some water.

Soon after, she poured salt in the water.

Soon after, I removed the salt from the table.

Soon after, somehow, the salt was back and she poured more in the water. And continued licking the couch. And reached for more water.

A heavy hand does not work with G. And I don’t really care to wield one. This is much more effective, and much funnier.
