Tiger Mother

It's Monday March 7th and I'm reading the Tiger Mother book.  I'm reading chapter 8 where Lulu goes for a school interview and is asked to count instead of going 1, 2, 3, 4 she goes some bizarre rebellious way like 11, 6, 10....four!  Well tonight K and I are studying her Chinese characters and towards the middle she starts this rebellious thing while reading, reminds me strangely of this chapter.

Mommy:  Let's try to read this last sentence.
K:  Ok there are two poop's (laughs)
Mommy:  I see yes, well let's try it again, who has two poops?
K:  Two people have two poops! (more giggling)
Mommy:  ok...you only have this last sentence to finish.  Do you want to Skype or not?!
K:  okay (dragged)... 有兩個人我的家 two people are coming to my house. ...(then she decides she wants to read more)

I can see what the future lays ahead of me.  Be headstrong against her and lose or just have fun and goof off that's what will attract her the most and somehow sneak in the learning.  Right now it's all about the poop and farts.
