DD's a Doozie
DD (5 1/2 years old) has figured out how to get the step stool out of the closet set it up and get things like, say, the chocolate bunny from Easter down off the top of the fridge by herself. She came to snuggle me yesterday morning smelling of chocolate. I told her I smelled chocolate on her breath and she told me, and I quote:
“No, I noticed last week that my breath naturally smells like chocolate.”
(I emailed this to my mother and she said she laughed until she cried.)
When I called her on that she came up with, “I forgot I wasn’t supposed to get into the Easter candy.” Uh huh. She’d taken the contraband into her closet to eat. I’ve hidden the rest of the bunny, the only candy left, where she can’t see it. I think.
She's smart in ways I can't even concieve.

scary aren't they they!
my friend had a story to share yesterday which involved a lady giving out lollipops... her eldest (3yr old DS) asked her if he could have one and was told no. He then sidled up to the lady with the goodies and said she was 'looking pretty today', at which she melted and immediately gave him the lollipop!
Just the kind of thing my DS would do too! 
I think your DD has womanhood all figured out already Anhata - not bad at 5 1/2!!!

Too funny..too cute...TOO SMART!
What a cutie!
DD15.5 never climbed: not out of her crib, not on furniture, nothing. (turns out she is still afraid of exposed heights)
DD11, however was another story! She could be out of her crib and sitting in the middle of the dining room table in the time it took one of us to get up, throw on a robe, and get down the hall!
She climbed; she manuvered furniture and objects so she could climb higher; she concocted fascinating justifications for what ever she was doing especially when it required one of us hauling her down from someplace over our heads! She is still a climber and LOVES roller coasters which only last summer has she been tall enough to ride!
Think of it as a keen sense of spatial relationships and advanced problem solving skills!
Blessings,
Lenora

Naturally chocolate
That has got to be one of the funniest kid-sayings I have heard in a long time!!
DD turns 7 tomorrow. When I asked her for gift ideas yesterday, I got two equally implausible suggestions: a cloud, and her own credit card!

Too funny
and what's funnier, when I read the title I thought you were refering to back pain from "double d's" or something along that line. My back is killing me right now, I thought maybe you had some good advice going on in here! LOL
Anyway, that is cute with your dd, Savannah is into everything now. I've had to tie my chair legs to the table legs so she'll stop climbing.
funny!
BTW, did you know my breath naturally smells of chocolate too?
