Conversations With A Three Year Old
It’s endless entertainment around this place.
Primo: Are you coming to Costco, Daddy?
The Big Guy: Not today, buddy. I’m sick.
Primo: You’re sick?
The Big Guy: Yep, I don’t feel very good.
Primo: Did you eat too much junk food?
The Big Guy: I don’t think so, but I didn’t think of that. You’re so smart.
Primo: Well, you should think about that next time.
Back story: Primo’s friend is heard crying from the living room, and then they both come running to the kitchen, where I’m preparing a snack as Bella sleeps in her room.
Me: What happened?
Primo: Bella bit Toby.
Me: Bella bit him?
Primo: Yes.
Me: While she was sleeping?
Primo: Yes?
Me: She bit him while she was sleeping with her door closed and you guys were in the living room?
Primo: Yah.
Me: Did you actually bite Toby?
Primo: No, I didn’t.
Me: Did you do it by accident?
Primo: Yes.
Me: Tell him that you’re sorry, and give him a hug.
They give each other a big hug, and Toby thanks him.
Me: Now please go have a little time out until you’re feeling better and can be a nice friend.
Primo: Okay.
A few minutes later, he comes out and tells me he’s feeling better, gives me a hug, and heads off to play. Within the next hour, Toby has bitten him and we start all over again. Oy vey.
It’s not just him that blames her, though. He can be in a different house and if she gets an owie, she’ll respond to “What happened?” with “WahWah!” (which is her name for him – she’s totally throwing him under the bus!)

That brings back so many memories!! My brother and I (17m apart) used to do the SAME thing, all the time! It always seemed better when we blamed it on someone else.
