Ms. Kaz: Hey, sweetie. Would you like a little baby to come live with us?
Daughter: … no.
Ms. Kaz: Why not?
Daughter: Because mommy would hold it, and I would be jealous.
Uh oh.

Haha… that’s cute.
I love talking to little kids. They tell the whole truth.
[Kaz: My daughter usually does tell the truth. "Did you nap today?" "No.", "Stupid." "What did you say?" "Stupid", "Did you hit the kitty?" "Yes." ... about the only time she doesn't? "Did you make a poopy?" "No."]
how does she know this word ?
[Kaz: I honestly have no idea. She appears to use it in the proper context when she does, though. She also tells us that she is "frustrated" a lot, as well. No idea where she got that one. We both suspect Caillou.]
How very self aware! That is too funny — good luck!
I think perhaps a little reverse psychology may be in order –
Ms. Kaz: Sweetie, would you like someone to come and live with us that you can boss around and that will do your bidding?
Daughter: YES!
Then you slowly ween her off the ‘boss around’ and ‘do your bidding’ part.
[Kaz: You parents-to-be are so cute, what with your belief that kids actually forget things you say...]
Nice… LA Mommy and I are about to have the talk about the next wee one. And as smart as LA Toddler is, she’s probably going to have a similar “Oh no you di-unt!” reaction…
Oy.
