Conversations With A Two-Year-Old…

Me: Son, do you know why you were in timeout?
The Boy: Yes.
M: Why?
B: I don’t know.
M: Because you’re not listening and not paying attention. You need to do what you’re told and you need to listen to me and your mother.
B: Okay. Can I have a sucker?
M: Son, are you paying attention?
B: Yes.
M: Then why were you in timeout?
B: Can I have a sucker???
M: Son, you’re not listening. Why were you in timeout?
B: I don’t know. Can I have a sucker?
M: No. Go play…

Two-year-olds are fun.

    B: I can’t stop fussing!!!
    (but imagine it in a fake sort of whining sound…ah kids are great!)

    My husband’s got a great story on his blog about that same type of thing - it’s classic, the stuff they say!

    Ha - I just posted an equally fun conversation with our one-year-old. When do they start making sense? Oh wait. I know that one. . .
