Good behavior
Daughter: Daddy? I’ve been thinking about my behavior this year.
Me: Oh?
Daughter: I don’t think I behaved very well so I don’t deserve a lot of presents for Christmas.
Me: Hmm. Well, you’re a kid and sometimes kids have bad days. But, overall, I think you’ve been really great this year.
Daughter: No, I don’t think so.
Me: Well, I think so. And you know what? I’m going to get you something really good anyway.
Daughter: Daddy, you know what? I really like parents because they always know how to make you feel better.

If she were five or six years older I would have to suspect that she was using a little reverse psychology on you. Or maybe checking to be sure she’s getting at least SOME presents. But considering her age, and looking into those big brown eyes…. Yeah–she’s just a little doll!
