My daughter is an unusual child.
She sometimes engages in what could be viewed as sharp dealing were an older person to do the same thing. She once displayed a good deal of annoyance that her mother decided to accompany us on a trip, and I realized that she thinks that when her mom isn't around, she's queen bee. She later said that but in her own words (those words verbatim except in the first person).
Apparently they teach the kids to write in kindergarten, and the kid has her own cursive workbook as well, (than you http://www.cursivelogic.com). My wife went to sign the latest entry on my daughter's reading list only to discover that my daughter had already forged my wife's name on there. She just saw the area as something that had to be filled out, so I had a talk with her.
I explained "sweetheart when we write someone else's name, especially when it's the way they write it, people will think that they wrote it, and it's like your pretending to be them and that's telling a fib."
The next day, she signed her own name on the parental section of a homework assignment. My wife took her to task and said "it clearly say's 'parent's signature.'" My daughter responded "I can fix that," and scratched through the word parent and wrote kid.
Two days later I was walking by as she did her homework and she asked "dad, can I sign my own homework, it says 'Someone in your house.'" I replied "certainly, you are in this house."
My wife scolded me and told me that it was clearly intended that a parent sign that homework. I replied that as I lawyer I interpret a requirement as it is written or orally explained not what someone imagines I will thing based on what they wrote. So I taught my daughter another important lesson. Sometimes authority figures express arbitrary and questionable interpretations of the rules and in certain situations you just have to go along with it.
