What mom? This?

Why is it that kids totally act stupid? Like for instance yesterday I asked Gensen, my 8 year old, to pick up a kleenex off of the floor and throw it away.

She looks right at the kleenex and then away looking all around.
"I don't see it mom!"
" It's right there where you looked a minute ago."
She goes to the table and picks up a piece of paper. "This?"
"No, not that the kleenex on the floor that you just looked at."
So she then looks around again and shrugs her shoulders.
"Gensen it's right THERE!" I take her and bend her down to see it.
"oh that kleenex!"
By this time I could have picked up the kleenex, threw out the food that is growing nuclear waste, and loaded the dish washer.

I should of had cats.I could've been a cat lady.
