We were doing an experiment where Lilly had to predict what would happen when we added the "mystery powder" to the water. The "mystery powder" was actually gelatin and was labeled gelatin on the package. So, I asked her what her prediction was and then proceeded to open the package of gelatin to pour it in the water.
Lilly stops me and says, "That isn't the mystery powder!"
I responded, "Yes, it is."
To which she grabs the package from me and studies it then says, "It doesn't say mystery powder. It says g-g-g-el-a-tin (and she sounds out the word)."
I look at her for a minute and then she continues, "Oh it is gelatin, like jello!"
"You're too smart for your own good, you know that?" I say.
Now, my husband and I know we need to be extra careful about what we are writing or reading because this girl will try and figure it out - no hiding things from her anymore. :)
