What does "redirect" mean?

Oh hey, Mom.

It's me, Brynn.

I don't really understand why Neenee doesn't follow me with the whole yeah-means-no-but-sometimes-yes thing. What don't you get, lady? Am I right??

For instance, I expressly told her I don't want to see magnets on the refrigerator anymore. Still, she claims she doesn't understand and puts them back up. UGH.

 

So then she said some mumbo jumbo about "redirection" and asked if me and Dames want waffles. "Yeah," we said. Except only Dames meant it. Obviously, my answer was code for "no thank you."

But look how politely I pretended--

 

So, redirecting again(?) we brushed teeth and had a jumping party! Awesome, right?? Party Pooper Neenee said maybe we should try the park. (See, Mama? She makes NO. SENSE. Look how awesome our jumping party was!)

 

Anyway, the good news is me and Dames are thick as thieves. He gets me, and we have fun together! I guess it's lucky the two of US are in charge around here! (But we'll keep Neenee around for new diapers and food assistance. See how reasonable and mature we are??)
