Don't Forget the Lyrics

Taytum is 8 and I'm not sure if this is universal but she's always "right".  Even when we try to help her realize what the correct answer is...she insists...she's right...we're wrong.  It sounds trivial right?  WRONG!  It is annoying because she does it every day to almost everything I say!! 

My favorite is when she sings--thankfully she is still innocent enough to overhear/misunderstand most radio songs so I don't even correct her--P.S.  WHO keeps writing Rihanna's songs?!?!  But there are a few I try to correct her on and she still insists on being right even when it's not logical...at all!

A few examples I can think of off hand...

Extraterrestrial
Katy Perry's Version:  You're an Alien...
Taytum's Version:  You're an Idiot...

Stuck Like Glue
Sugarland's Version:  Oh Oh Oh Oh Stuck like glue...you and me baby..
Taytum's Verison:  Oh Oh Oh Oh Snuggle like blue...

Sex on Fire
K.O.L. Version:  Your sex is on fire
Taytum's Version:  Your Six is on fire  (whew--didn't go there)

When I sang the correct Sugarland lyrics Taytum jumped in and insisted I was singing them wrong...that's when she gave me her version (snuggle like blue).  When I told her that doesn't make sense she assured me that "They are snuggling so hard they turn blue...duh"  I tried to explain the whole "Stuck like Glue" because glue is sticky...they're staying together...she just insisted that glue isn't sticky!  Ahhhh
