Mary's Musings By Mary Alderson Kids will make a liar out of you 'every time. My 11 month old daughter has already discovered what fun it is to make Mom and Dad look foolish. For example, people will ask if she "makes strange". "Oh, -no," I reply and hand her over to the visitor. And just then, the big lip will come out, her face will screw up, and she'll emit a loud howl. So the next time someone wants to hold her, I warn them that she sometimes make strange. Of course, she will climb willingly onto the stranger's lap, giggling and smil- ing, offering them a big hug. She does the same thing with food. We will be at someone's house for lunch and they will offer her a spoon- ful of cottage cheese. "I don't think she'll eat that," I will say, just in time to see her gobble it up and look for more. Another time, I will say that she enjoys chewing on a stick of celery. Just then, she will pick up the celery, take one look at it and heave it on the floor. In keeping with their desire to make their parents look bad, kids will not perform on command. At home, they can do all their cute tricks without hesitation, but take them out, and they immediately forget everything. For several months now. Chelsey has been able to do "pat -a -cake". But only in the privacy of her own home and only in front of her Mom and Dad. Ask her to clap her hands for anyone else, and she gets a vacant look on her little face. If you demonstrate with some loud handclappin, she'll stare like it's an action she s never seen before in her life. Of course, if I'm in the kitchen and she's in the living room by herself, watching "Wheel of Fortune", she can pat -a -cake with no problem. In fact, wizen there is no one watching - her, she'll clap with the contestants every time. If she keeps this up, her first words will be "55000, 55000". When it's just Chelsey and I at - home, she will always respond to my question "How big are you?'; Her arms go up, fingers out stretched and she reaches as far as she can, very pleased with herself. But will she do that if anyone else asks how big she is? Never. And then there are the strange at- tacks of "spaghetti legs". Normally, her little legs are firm and strong, but if you are in a hurry to go somewhere and want to put her shoes on her, they become as limp as a wet noodle, mak- ing it impossible to put shoes on. "Spaghetti leg" also strikes when you want her to show someone hew well she stands. At home, you can't keep her from walking -around the coffee table, but take her out and try to stand her up, and she crumbles in a heap. Later on, those same legs will be stiff as a poker, just when you want her to bend her knee to put on her sleepers. And then. you'll tell your houseguests how she fights going to bed at night, so afraid she'll miss something. That will be the night she cuddles up on your lap, lays her head down, and is instantly sleeping peacefully, with a very angelic look on her face. "You've heard about it... ... now you can see it.
