She was sent to the "naughty corner" twice and was hit once on her hand for her repeated refusal to head Daddy's and Mummy's instructions and warnings and doing things that really irritated us.
Feeling a "guilty" for being that harsh on my little princess, I decided to be a little sweeter to her, just to affirm her that we still loved her.

16.11.09, Sleep Time
Mummy: It's sleeping time, Adri. Goodnight. (Smuack! Mummy plants a kiss on Adri's right cheek)
Adri: *Smiles* Another one? How about Adri's face? (and points at her left cheek)
Mummy: Oh, you want another kiss on your left cheek? Ok, Mummy will kiss you goodnight on your left cheek.
Adri: How about Adri's head? Here here... (and points at her forehead)
Mummy: On your forehead? Okie, Mummy will kiss you goodnight on your forehead.
Adri: How about Adri's nose? (and points at her nose)
Mummy: Ok, another kiss for Adri, on Adri's nose)
Adri obviously didn't mind tha affection that i was showering her with and decided to ASK (reminds me of the biblical verse "ask and you shall receive"..)
Note how she managed to name her cheek and forehead this time round!
Adri: How about Adri's cheek? (and points at her left cheek)
Mummy planted yet another kiss (and smiles with satisfaction that her princess actually managed to replace "face" with "cheek")
Adri: How about Adri's forehead?
Mummy: *Smuack!* (kisses Adri with an even broader smile)
Adri: How about Adri's nose?
Mummy: *Smuack!*
Adri: How about Adri's mouth? (and she pointed at her lips as she pouted her lips, ready to receive the kiss)
Mummy: *Shocked* No, Adri. Not on your lips. Erm...erm...Mummy is not well. Mummy cannot kiss you on your lips.
I was really taken aback by her last request and being ill was the fastest "excuse" i could come up with. Well, it was an excuse, not a lie. My nose was a little running.
Hmm.. what if Adri asks for a kiss on her lips on an occassion that i am totally well?
Oops, I certainly won't be comfortable with that!
How else should i say no?
Hmm...
