So I have to be impressed with my 2 year old daughters ability to take the things we teach her and twist them to her own purposes.
Lesson 1: We have successfully taught Athena to NOT eat things from the floor. Go us! :)
Lesson 2: We have also taught her that trash is 'yucky' and goes in the trash can and once trash goes in the can it doesn't come out.
So how does Athena combine these two things? I gave her a banana and apparently she decided she didn't want to eat it. She wanted to eat candy so she shook the banana as hard as she could until it broke and fell on the floor. Oops. Now since you can't eat food off the floor (see Lesson #1) it is now 'yucky' and yucky trash goes in the trash can. (See Lesson #2) Problem solved.
