Table Talk…..
Stimulating dinner conversation. I suppose it beats, “So, how was your day?”
Dad, you shouldn’t say stupid. It’s not a nice word.
I haven’t said anything in the last ten minutes. I’m eating. In fact, I don’t use that word. (Not out loud, at least.)
I know. I’m just saying, you shouldn’t say stupid.
(Zane steps in) Zia, you just said it two times.
No, I didn’t.
Yes, you did.
No, I told Dad not to say stupid but I didn’t say stupid.
You just did it again.
No, I didn’t.
Anyone else have problems reasoning with a three year old?

Aw, too cute!!! But yes, it DOES beat “how was your day?” by a longshot.
Seriously, it hurts my brain on a daily basis! Three year olds are so much work!
Hehe, what a random conversation. I wouldn’t know what to say!
Yeah, Zane tried the “how was your day?” on me once. I looked at him incredulously and said, “Buddy, I was with you all day long. I think you know how my day went.”
Kids!
I’m usually OK with it—after I’ve had my morning coffee. It’s not the terrible twos. It’s torrential toddlers!
I usually stare blankly repeating in my head—careful what you wish for…
To be honest I’m not sure you can reason with a three year old.
But I’d rather attempt that than try to reason with an 18 month old i can tell you.
“NO Evan, don’t bite Granny’s cat!”
Talk about a fur ball. Hopefully he doesn’t eat the cat’s food—like the twins do!
Makes total sense to me.
Haha! No, I don’t have problems reasoning with a 3-year-old. A 2-year-old, yes. But a 3-year-old, no.

It continues well into the teens.
Same almost exact conversation a few days ago. Lad reports, you know, so and so always says cr-p mom, you know how much you hate the word cr-p. Why don’t you tell him to stop saying cr-p like you tell us?
[I prefer they say crud]
He argues he hasn’t just said cr-p.
18 years old.
never ending . . .
Who’s on first?
Happy Friday – if you’ve got time Rockin’ With Frigga is still going on!
Be thankful it was just the word stupid. My 2 boys had a similiar conversation the other day about a much worse word. Of course, this would be the day that the in-laws were visiting.
As it did to her…
You will my friend. You will.
So I’ve got that going for me…Thanks.
I’m on first. Problem is, the kids are playing soccer.
Always when the in-laws are there. Nice!
oh just wait until stupid’s been replaced with something a little more mature like – oh i don’t know – bitch!
(drinkin’ and buzzin’ on a Friday nite.)
Oh.. funny! Just the other day my 3 year old fell and cried that the dog did it (hurt him).. it happened 3 different times… and each time the dog was no where near him, in fact, one time the dog was next to me and he was in the living room.. He wanted to know if I was watching him and thats how I knew the dog didn’t do it. He just didn’t get that I knew he was pulling my leg because I could see the dog. 3 year olds are so funny!

Oh, I’m giddy with excitement.
Thanks for stumbling through.
I’m amazed at the number of strangers that enter my home on a regular basis reaking havoc on my darling angels.
