Little Negotiations
Overheard while driving:
Isaac: "Twust me, Eli. Tomowow is my birfday."
Wife: "Isaac, your birthday isn't until September."
Isaac: "Is that tomowow?"
Wife: "No, sweetie. It's a lot of days away."
Isaac: "Oh."
And then later, while Eli and Isaac flop around like otters in the bathtub, periodically splashing either me or my newspaper, or splashing each other:
(splash, splash, splash)
"Stop, Isaac."
(splash, splash, splash)
"Stop. Stop. STOP."
(splash, splash, SPLASH)
"Stop doesn't mean do it!"
"Oh. Sowwy."

Makes you wonder what Jesus was thinking when he said he desired people have childlike faith. I take that to mean I repeatedly ask dumb questions and not do anything remotely close to what I was just told to do.

That's adorable. I can't wait until my two boys are old enough to carry on conversations.

My oldest son (now age 28 with a degree in linguistics) had a toddler phrase he would use when he found himself in Isaac's situation. If something was "a lot of days" away, he'd call it "a few whiles." I STILL love that so much, all these many years later.....
