My doubting Thomas

For some reason, Meagan is arguing with almost everything I tell her these days. For example, we were driving home from the store this evening, and I saw the moon. It was full and huge, since it was near the horizon. I said, "Look, Meagan, it's the moon!" She said, "No it's not, it's the sun." So typical. She argues about everything from which shoe goes on which foot to what color her clothes are. She's always wrong, but nothing can convince her of that. Mostly I just let it pass. She'll figure things out eventually. Today, though, I had one really funny conversation with her. We were in the car again, when she noticed the cup holder from the booster seat she was in had popped off the seat and was on the floor--something I accidentally did the other day when I was moving it.

Meagan: Look, Mommy, Bethany broke the cup holder.
Me: Um, actually, I think it was me.
Meagan: No, Bethany broke it.
Me: No, Meagan. I broke it.
Meagan: Bethany broke it!
Me: (losing my patience) Meagan, can you just believe me for once? I BROKE THE CUP HOLDER!
Meagan: Mom, just trust me on this.
Me: *speechless and trying not to laugh, which didn't escape Meagan*
Meagan: Trust me on this!

Hahaha...I have no idea where she even learned that...well, maybe I do have an idea. It's probably from Backyardigans. She picks up a lot of funny phrases from that show, most of which she doesn't really comprehend, but it's still funny to hear her use them.
