Tried to do something cute, so I picked up a card for the kid to give to her mom. As with every attempt at emulating Lifetime ideals, it went sour right away.
Kid: Oohh, Elmo!
Me: Yeah, you can give this card to mommy
Kid: But you bought it
Me: Yes, but I bought it for you, so that you can give it to mommy
Kid: So it's my card?
Me: No, it's for you to give to mommy
Kid: But it has Elmo on it,
I like Elmo
Me:

Kid: That's a bad word, daddy.
