Cuoco added that Pelphrey thinks differently and insists their daughter “says that all day long." Like all mums, however, Cuoco thinks “she’s a genius.”
‘She says ‘uh oh’ ‘cause she knows what it means,” the mother of one added. When asked if Matilda got her intelligence from her, Cuoco jokingly replied, “Yes, the genius, of course!”
“The ‘uh oh’ and the genius, and the big eyes. Tom always says she’s got my crazy eyes, yeah she’s got big eyes,” the8 Simple Rulesalum revealed.
Responding to whether she’s introduced Matilda to her shows, Cuoco said her daughter “loves music” and she therefore thought of showing her the opening ofThe Big Bang Theory.
“So I turned it on one day and she sat there, loved it,” Cuoco said before pointing at the video of Matilda clapping her hands and bouncing on a couch.
Cuoco also revealed how she and Pelphrey celebrated their first Christmas with Matilda, revealing she “bought her so many presents."
“Tom was like, ‘What are you doing, she doesn’t’ even know how to open them,’ " she revealed.
She also admitted that she started giving Matilda the presents a month in advance — and couldn’t stop herself from giving more.
“She was amazing, she loved the tree,” Cuoco added about their festive celebration. “You know she loves music, she’s very musical, she wants to dance,” before adding that “she bops to everything.”

The proud mother, who owns five dogs, also revealed that her daughter loves the animals so much that “she might think she’s one of them.”
Explaining that they have a ranch full of animals and love rescuing dogs, Couco joked that if her daughter didn’t like them, “I would have to send her back at this point.”
Meanwhile, during a round of hot seat questions, Cuoco said the most surprising thing about motherhood was how much fun she’s had and how much she enjoys making Matilda laugh. “She is my best audience, she will laugh at anything,” Cuoco revealed.
