This morning’s “conversation”…
ME: Come on, kiddo. Let’s put on your shoes and go to
school! Yay!
HIM: laughs, wiggles away
ME: Come on, we gotta
go. Here are your shoes. …Come here!
HIM: Pee!
ME, highly skeptical: Do you have to go potty? You just
went.
HIM: laughs, runs to toys
ME, exasperated: Do
you want to go to school or not?
HIM: NOT!
ME: blink a couple
times
ME: You don’t want to go to school, and play
with all your friends, and do all those cool activities?
HIM: studiously ignores me, but with a smirk on his face
Even though I like being a smartass (it adds character!), I
didn’t necessarily want those genes passed on. Can the sarcastic pre-teen possessing my toddler please leave now?
