Keeping a Straight Face

Okay, you're all aware of The Princess's shiny new ability to mimic.  She's parroting actions, gestures, facial expressions, even some sounds.  It's amazing.

But.

How the hell am I supposed to keep a straight face when I'm trying to scold her and she mirrors my stance - hands on hips, stern eyebrows, the whole nine yards?

The answer: I'm not.  It's cool.  It's new.  It's fun.  And there's no way I'm keepin' a straight face.  At least not yet.

My girl, who will be turning six in three months, is finally starting to play some of the games we've been trying for since she was a baby.  I think I'll just soak it all up and enjoy every moment, thank you very much.
