Patterns

This morning M. stopped the game she was playing on the iphone to track me down and demand a chocolate muffin, out of the blue. We haven't had chocolate muffins in this house for weeks. But it didn't take me long to figure that since she doesn't play the iphone games as much anymore that perhaps the last time she played that particular game, was probably weeks ago when we had chocolate muffins. And of course, to her, there must be a correlation.

Just like when the neighbor cat who never lets her pet him, did actually let her pet him one day after we came home from gymnastics class, so the next time the cat let her pet him again, M. said, "and now do we go to gymnastics?" Because in her mind of nonsensical patterns, the cat only lets her pet him on gymnastics days, therefore, since she pet the cat it must be a gymnastics day.
