I was sitting here at the computer while out of the corner of my eye, I saw Berit heading stealthily to the stairs with a plastic shopping bag, much like the kind her halloween candy is in. I thought I should investigate, so I went over.

"Wait up a second, Berit..."

Berit casually tosses the candy onto the stairs behind her and gives me the "OH... Daddy, is it ok if I get a drink of water?" deflection (Look over here! Look over here! There is no one behind that curtain!!!)

She reminds me so much of me it's scary.
