Misreading Body Language

While Andrea takes a evening summer school class this month, Aunt Kathy is helping out by picking Fiona up from day care twice a week. Yesterday I got home shortly before Kathy and Fiona arrived. Kathy visited for a little while, and then after half an hour or so started gathering her things to leave.

As I moved toward the front door, Fiona ran up to me and threw her arms around my legs saying "no no no!" Apparently, she'd picked up on the signals that somebody was getting ready to leave the apartment, knew Aunt Kathy was in the room, and figured that I must be getting ready to go out and leave Kathy behind to babysit.
