Conversations with a Four Year Old

Mom:  (walking out to the car) Calvin?

Calvin:  (shoving something in his mouth and jumping from the front seat to the back)  Hmmmm?  Yes mommy?

Mom:  (looking at the pile of crumbs in the front seat) Calvin, there is a terrible mess in the front seat and Brandon’s cookie is gone.

Calvin:  It was Josh.

Mom:  Calvin, it was not Josh.  You got in the front seat and ate baby’s cookie.

Calvin:  Wow Mom.  That is a really bad guess.

Josh:  (very seriously)  Mom, I want to build a fort and I want to sleep in it.

Mom:  Sweetie….

Josh:  (Interrupting) OK-  Listen.  Forts are good and people can sleep in them.

Mom:  Yes, forts are good but tonight is a school night.  Tell you what, let’s build a fort on Friday night and you can sleep in it.  How does that sound?

Josh:  (with great disgust)  Ugh!  Mom!  That was so predictable.

Yeah - you are so predictable! Work on that, please!

Tell me Josh did not say the word "predictable". I can't believe how smart he is getting. Too bad these words are sometimes used at your expense!

Calvin is getting sly in his old age :)

Josh sure called that one! I kid (or josh!), of course! You are very fun and exciting and spontaneous and not at all predictable. And I just think that it is awesomely hilarious when kids think you are so dumb that you won't notice obvious things, like them stuffing their face with brother's cookie...I get that one a LOT. Conversations with a Four Year Old are my very favorite posts, so you just keep 'em coming!
