"I Twy!"

  I learned in my child development class a few years back that children go through a "helpful" phase, where they want to involved in everything you do. I went through such a stage myself, and my mother wrote in my baby book that her heart would sink every time she would hear me say, "I twy!". It was usually when she was cooking, and it always meant she got to fish tiny pieces of egg shell out of the brownie mix for the next ten minutes. She was kind enough to (almost) always allow me to crack those eggs, though.

  Thinking about this, I couldn't help but think that kangaroos must really have a rough time with this stage.
