Sophie can read. Well, kind-of.

Sophia has discovered that she can read. Here are some of today's examples of her "reading."

The empty pretzel bag: "Mom! This pretzel bag says when it is empty moms have to go to the store and buy more pretzels. Yep. That's what it says on the wrapper."

My bottle of water when I told her I wouldn't share it: "But Mom, it says right here that this is FAMILY water so you have to share it with your family."

My ice cream free grocery list: "Oh thanks Mom. Thanks for putting ice cream on the list. That was really nice of you."

As strange as this may sound, I kind of have to respect her read what you want something to say stance. If nothing else, it is a very polite way to try to get what you want.
