At Cal-Tot (Samantha's school), kids are told to "walk away" when they're doing something wrong, like making a mess when they should be cleaning up, or trying to wrest a toy from another kid. I don't know how often Mantha is told to walk away (hopefully not often), but she has picked up on the meaning of this phrase and she uses it at home, mostly on Mark.
Lately Mark has been trying to teach her that if she insists on carrying her blankets around the house, it's much safer for her to ball it up first so she doesn't trip on it. When she puts one down, he often folds it up for this very reason. She doesn't like this one bit. One morning, after Mark had left for work, she found a blanket folded up on the sofa. She looked at it and said, "No, no, Daddy. Walk away Daddy," even though he was nowhere in sight.
