Sophie: I’m gonna watch Snow White!
Me: Wow, you’re gonna watch Snow White again?
Sophie: Yeah!

She suddenly remembers she just got new studio portraits, and cuts me off from my reply.

Sophie: I got pictures!
Me:  I know, I saw them!  Do you know that I’m gonna come see you later on your birthday?

A thud is heard as the phone falls to the ground.  Uh oh.

Sophie (yelling in the background):  BEN’S COMING!

Uh oh.  I hear rapid footsteps as she runs to the window to look for me.  Uh oh, uh oh. I just accidentally lied by saying I was coming and then not showing up right away.  Blërg!

Lesson Learned:  Do not tell Sophie something will happen “later” unless it is imminent.
