I was pulling shoes & socks on the Bear, and the Bug approached.
"I want to stay home by myself," my three-year-old Bug announced.
"Sorry, you can't," I said.
"Please? I want to stay home by myself." (all of the 't's get specially enunciated)
"Honey, you can't stay by yourself. It's the law."
She looked at me skeptically. She is used to demanding her own way.
"If you stay here by yourself," I sighed, "the police will come and take me away and put me in jail." (Yes, I said this to a three-year-old.)
The Bug looked thoughtful.
"Okay," she said, patting my hand. "I stay here by myself and you go to the dungeon."
He he he. Very funny. We're at the stage right now where if I tell the daughter she can't go with me we go into full-on tantrum mode.
ReplyDeleteI don't want you to go to the dungeon!
ReplyDeleteBwahaha! My, aren't kids just lacking in the empathy department at that age? Thank goodness they are otherwise quite adorable (most of the time)!
ReplyDeleteThat's a classic!
ReplyDeleteMy nearly 5 year old doesn't understand reproduction correctly. She's always telling DH and I to "Get married again so you can have another baby. Please?"
She's a riot! Gotta love them at this age.
'sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me!' ;) lol
ReplyDeleteenjoy the dungeon!
ROFL!!!
ReplyDeleteAren't kids intelligent these days? (Stewie being my fav. character from the Family Guy)

HA HA HA!!! Ok off to the dungeon Aerin!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Is it bad that the dungeon sounds like a bit of a break, though?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Julie. A few days ago my 2-year-old was especially hyper and wore me OUT. A dungeon would have been a welcome escape, I assure you! Hehe! But, you gotta love 'em.
ReplyDeleteLol Very cute =) Don't let her get her way though, we can't have you locked up in the dungeon *gasp*
ReplyDeleteOUCH! Isn't it good to be loved?? =)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Awwww, that's funny, though!
