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.
