I couldn't let this one wait. Alyssa was being a little challenging just after I got home tonight. She was climbing and bouncing on the furniture, I told her to stop, she stopped, then she immediately headed back to do it again. I said, "No!" She ignored me and started climbing up again. I said, "Alyssa, NO!" She stopped for a second then started again. I said, "Stop it, right now! What part of 'no' do you have trouble understanding?" She got down from the furniture, looked at me, smiled, and said, "Hmmmm, 'n.'" I was flabbergasted. I said, "What?" "'N.' 'Nuh.'" Then she smiled at me and walked away.
How do you respond to that kind of quick thinking from a five year old?
Kids are great. Wonderful, exciting, a true joy, and frustrating beyond all belief. I've just been inspired to write down some of the things that my precocious, lovable, adorable, baffling little children have said and done to me.
