[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 220834, member: 84"] Children can be exceptionally insightful. Almost to the point of being unsettling. (mostly I think because we don't give them due credit) I remember being about 4 or 5 and walking into one of my mother's psychotic episodes, a particularly bad one. One look at her and I knew, [B][I]knew[/I][/B] beyond any doubt that there was something seriously wrong with her. Nichole was in a horrid mood on afternoon thanks to some manipulation on boyfriend's part and his mother. The combo had gotten to her. She was approaching Aubrey and the baby put her hands up and said, "you're not my Mommy, I want my Mommy back!" Aubrey started sobbing and wouldn't stop until Nichole checked her anger and forced herself to calm down fast. Aubrey is extremely insightful. And it is unsettling coming from a 2 1/2 year old. She really makes our jaws drop on a regular basis. I told Nichole she's what my grandmother used to call "an old soul". Wise far beyond her years. Sounds like Jesse is too. [/QUOTE]
