The best what?

A few weeks ago, the kids and I had a sleepover at my parents' house. I was setting up the tent and Faith was "helping". The tent is a normal looking dome tent, with flexible poles that hold it in shape. Unlike a normal tent though, where the poles are directly attached to the tent and the weather sheet is draped over top, with my tent the poles are actually attached to the weather sheet and the tent structure is suspended inside with several little hooks.

I had gotten the weather sheet setup and was attempting to get the tent snapped inside. This normally a pretty easy process, but the unstaked corners kept moving around and unhooking. Finally, I asked Faith to hold the one corner hook to keep it from slipping out, while I did the other side. It slipped out anyway and she starting trying to put it back in. I started to go over to do it, but she wouldn't let me.

"No," she said. "I''m going to do it myself. Because I'm the best hooker ever."
