The plot to drive me mad

“Layla, what is that on your chin?” I heard my mom ask Layla.

The baby gave some sort of reply I couldn’t hear.

“Is that food?” I heard my mom ask.

Unintelligable answer given by the baby. I decided to let it go.

Some time later, it was time for bed and I see the red mark on Layla’s chin. What in the world?

“Baby, what happened to your chin?”

“’Member I told you I fell off the sofa and hurt myself,” she answered.

Are you kidding me!?! “No, I don’t remember you telling me this. When did this happen?” Crap, why am I asking this? She seemingly only knows one day of the week.

“On Saturday.”

And yep, that’s the day she knows.

“Were you jumping on the sofa?” Why do I bother asking questions I know the answer to?

Her head lowered and she mumbled an answer.

I lifted her chin, looking at the red mark, and then I moved my gaze to her eyes. “This is why Mommy tells you not to jump on the sofa, okay?”

“’Kay.”

Great, our yearly picture taking day is coming in a week and now she has this red scratch on her chin. Is she trying to ruin my picture or just drive me batty?
