Master Class Lesson #1500
Boy #2: "I need the LOO!"
Me (answering e-mails): "OK - off you go then."
Boy #2: "But I need a POO!"
Me: "Well, off you go - you know where it is."
Pause.
Boy #2: Actually, too late. I done a poo already. In my pants."
Me: "What? Come on then, let's sort it out."
Boy #2 "But I want new PANTS! I WANT NEW PANTS!"
Me: "Don't worry, we'll get them. Let's just get you cleaned up first."
Silence whilst we bustle to the bathroom. Then...
Me: "I thought you said you had done a poo, Boy #2. There's nothing here."
Boy #2: "Really? Can you read me a story now?"
Oh that one will go far - very far!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletePure genius!
ReplyDeleteGasp. Cheeky whatsit! What you need to do is look on the bright side and see that you have a very smart chap there!
ReplyDeletehaha! I did laugh out loud at this.. how sneaky!
ReplyDeleteScary. Like mother or like father?
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar! The one I get is 'but you have to come and wipe my bottom'. To which I reply, well what do you do when you are at preschool? He says: "At school I do myself. At home YOU have to do it." Great.
ReplyDeleteHow about that story about the boy who cried wolf? (is it an Aesop's fable?) He might enjoy that one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for jumping back into the mummy blogger category for me with this post. Now my life is tidy again.
Sharon - that's what I'm afraid of...
ReplyDeleteCathy - thanks - and thanks for commenting
Glowstars - I can't believe I fell for it.
Tara - it IS a bright side. Isn't it? IS IT?
LQ, thanks for visiting and commenting!
FK - I couldn't possibly say...
NVG, they were clearly twins in a former life - I get that one too!
Iota - I always like to be of service...
Ooooh, that's so naughty! Love it
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it would work the other way round? My kids take no notice of me normally......
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever little one you have there !
ReplyDeleteSounds very familiar - my 4 year claims she can't go unless there is a story, and the times I dread... when it has to be a story 'made up from your head Mummy'
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh!
Clever monkey! So funny!
ReplyDeleteLOL.. really made me laugh. My twins are 20 months...I'm in total denial that they'll ever reach the potty training stage, let alone get past it but I can already see my little girl coming out with this one. She's far too opinionated for her own good & she can't even string a sentence together.
ReplyDeleteoh how very clever he is. that's pure brilliance. did you laugh? read him a story? x
ReplyDeleteHmm- and there was I thinking that I;ll have to tackle potty training at some point this year. Could I not leave it until they are 18?
ReplyDeleteWhy do they make children so clever?
oh fabulous, what a character! and how super clever.
ReplyDeleteDD, me too. Although quite what this means for the future when he's trying to get some girl's attention, I'm not sure...
ReplyDeleteEPM - can you try it and let me know?
MaM, I know it!
NM, my pleasure - and could you make sure my 4 year old never hears that made-up stories are available on the loo please?
WM - yes, I did actually laugh.
Lisa - not having daughters I can't possibly comment or say something like - well, that's girls for you...
RM, if I were stern mummy I would say something like 'gosh no, that would send the wrong message'. But obviously, yes. I did both.
DG - I blame the parents.
Heather - he obviously gets it from his mother...
Bwaaaa ha ha ha!!!!! Oh dear. Shouldn't laugh but... guess he's got some smarts on him, that one.
ReplyDeleteAh.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Littlest, who at just 5 still shouts 'FINISHED' at us, in the hope that we will rush to wipe her bottom.
Last time she did it Mr Coffee shouted back "So what do you do when you've finished?"
There was a pause. "I shout 'FINISHED'," she replied.
