My daughter can be a bit of a nutter

@the_tiddler

I am a dad and I have a daughter. She is awesome and I love her to bits but she can sometimes be a bit of a nutter. Why is it that even though pretty much exactly the same thing has happened to her at the same time, the same way, for each of the past 600 odd days, she still seems to forget everything, panic and get in a sweat about the simplest things?! Take this morning as an example. She knows because it has happened every single day that she will wake up before us and start shouting. Quietly at first, until after about 20 minutes it is just 'MAMA.. PAPA' as loud as her little lungs can shout. This has the desired effect of getting us up to fetch her milk. Now onto the milk. This I except has changed from mothers to goats (depending on the mood of the mother, I wonder if they might taste quite similar?!) She must know that after milk comes the breakfast of 'bix' the same thing she has eaten and loved for many of her little days. Why then did she almost look surprised when I placed the bowl in front of her this morning and promptly reject it? She always gets what she wants/needs. Always gets breakfast and always gets dressed. Food = not hungry, Clothes = not cold, Papa = plenty of hugs. So why sometimes kick up such a fuss?
