Understanding of a 2 yr old

Toddlers are so cute yet so frustrating at times. One situation that was on the funny side of things happened while in Virginia on July 1oth. We were at a state park under a pavilion. Abri, Kayla, were on one side of the pavilion, myself on the other. I noticed I had left my cell phone on the bench on that side, not far from where Kayla was. Concerned Kayla would pick it up and drop it the ground, I told Abri: "Abri, will you put my phone back in the diaper bag just there so Kayla doesn't get it?" Abri didn't really pay much attention to what I was saying, but Kayla on the other hand, was. She promptly picked up the cell phone, looked at me, then put the phone in the bag. If I wasn't so pleased and amused I would have felt a little offended that she so blatantly understood what I was saying but disregarded the intent if not the request.

So wait, you were in VIRGINIA on July 10th, and didn't come see me! Holy smokes. We need to work on our communication :)
