The Letter of Law....

Isabella is a GENIUS when it comes to obeying exactly what you say.
However, this is not necessarily the reflection of an obedient heart.

She'll skirt around the issue, and do everything EXCEPT for the "sin" that will get her a "consequence."

Here is yesterday's example of an "evil genius"!!! :)

D.J. bought the girls Burger King for lunch. Bella got to hold the bag of food but was instructed not to eat anything until we got home. "Okay, Daddy" she says as she takes the fries out of the bag.
"What are you doing," asks D.J.
"Just cooling them off daddy." she replies.
"Don't eat them Bella."
"Okay daddy", she says as she takes out a few fries and begins to sniff them.
"You're not eating those fries are you Bella?" he repeats.
"No, daddy I'm just sniffing them." She says, as she takes a fry and brings it up to her mouth and licks it, "See daddy, I'm just licking it, I'm not eating it."

She never did eat even one fry until we got home, but she did as much as she could without getting in trouble.

So here's my philosophical question for you:
Was she obedient?
