The True Blond

Please explain to me how such an intelligent child can be such a little ding-dong!!! Yesterday, Kaitlyn was throwing something in the kitchen garbage. (This particular garbage can opens by stepping on a foot pedal at the base. This child uses this can several times a day and has been doing so for a very long time.) She starts yelling at us that she needs help because her hand is stuck. I come running out of the bedroom to find her with her hand in the garbage can. I just started laughing and told her to step on the pedal and open it up "GOOFY"!!!! Mark comes out to see what's going on and just shakes his head and walks away. She has now been informed that we are going to tease her about this for a very long time.
