Lyric Nazi

Chandra is very particular. Very. Particular.  At bedtime her blankets have to be placed on her in a certain order, a certain direction ("NO!! That one's upside down!") with her water cup in a certain spot.  At breakfast she requests "Grandma Lisa eggs" (poached), mashed up, on a pink plate, with a small green spoon.  If anybody is feeling generous that morning she'd also like us to feed them to her, but that really only happens when her Grandma Lisa is here to do it for her.

When Chandra learns a song, she learns it the one and only right way (in her mind.)  Brian has always loved changing the lyrics to songs to something silly.  Bracken thinks it's hilarious and plays along, giggling.  But if Brian changes the words to one of "Chandra's" songs. She gets all bent out of shape and shouts, "No, Dad! That's not right!"  Brian got fed up with her correcting him constantly one day and said, "Sheesh Chandra, you're a lyric nazi." At which she burst into tears and said, "I'm not a little nazi!"
