This is the first edition of True Story Tuesday. Go visit Rachel at Once Upon A Miracle to join in, don't miss out on the very first edition ever.
So in thinking of all the 'true stories' that I have yet to tell...the first one that popped into mind was about Jacob, our oldest. And though he's 9 now...he still has this problem!!
When he was about 3, we were in the car on the way to somewhere, driving along with a jabbery toddler/preschooler that LOVED to talk. I'm sure you've met one of those or have a few yourself! So Jake was talking about something and got upset cuz I didn't give him the answer he wanted I guess cuz he started talking back, and in a way that needed a little correction. So, I pulled out the trusty comment that many parents before me (including my own) have used for years and it went something like this...
"Jacob, don't talk back to Mommy, that's not ok"
Jake was quiet for a couple seconds and then said...
"I no talk back. I talk FORWARD!"
Seriously, I kid you not, those were his exact words. And to this day, and that including, it still just cracks me up!!!
Sooo...what's your True Story for the day???
4 lil lovins:
Kids are so funny - how they think and then in turn, make YOU think! I am constantly having to figure out how to explain things to my 2-year old, and sometimes he catches me by surprise with a literal translation!
That was just adorable - and I'd be laughing about it years later too!
So glad you joined up - can't wait to hear more of your stories!
That is so cute! It is amazing what they come up with when they are young. It makes perfect sense to them LOL! :)
Cute story. Kids say the funniest things, don't they!
Rach made me do this..... I grumblingly said: Yes DEAR!!!
