Talking with my children
A recent conversation with Ms. Boo went like this:
Boo: Mom, what day is it?
Me: Friday
Boo: What day will it be tomorrow?
Me: Saturday
Boo: What day will it be on Wednesday?
Me: (??????????????)
A recent conversation with Mr. Bug went like this:
SETTING: the dinner table
Bug: aaaah! (Pointing to something on the table)
Me: Do you want more noodles?
Bug: (shakes head "no")
Me: Do you want more meatballs?
Bug: (nods)
Me: eat the meatballs on your plate
Bug: (eats a piece, points to table again) aaaaaaaaaaaah!
Me: What do you want? Do you want water?
J: (shakes head "no")
Me: Do you want more noodles?
Bug: (shakes head "no") AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (leans closer)
Me: you still have meatballs, eat your meatballs!
Bug: (eats a piece)
(Repeat scenario once more... seriously)
Me: (looking closely to where he is pointing) You want THIS? (handing him my fork)
Bug: (happily eats the rest of his meatballs with my fork)
Boo: Mom, what day is it?
Me: Friday
Boo: What day will it be tomorrow?
Me: Saturday
Boo: What day will it be on Wednesday?
Me: (??????????????)
