Today's conversation with Babydoll:
BD: Mom, I can’t find my blankie with the teddy bears.
BD: Mom, I can’t find my blankie with the teddy bears.
Me: Your blankie is at Auntie Berni’s house.
(lots of pause and concentration)
BD: No! You’re wrong Mom!!
Me: Excuse me?
BD: Mom, you’re wrong!
(lots of hand waving, BD, not me)
BD: You see, I took my blankie to Sue’s house in Wexford and I left it there.
Me: Your pink blankie?
BD: No! My. Blue. Blankie. With. Bears. All. Over. It! But…Sue gave it back to me when she came to our house and I put it in my room.
Me: Oh! I’m not sure what blankie this is…can you show it to me tonight?
(look of disbelief from BD—a lot like I get from DH)
BD: I. DON’T. KNOW. WHERE. IT. IS.!!! That was the POINT, Mommmmm!
Are four year olds allowed to have a point? A valid one, at that?
Even though I unnerved her to no end, I would have given anything to keep this conversation going …growing up is fun to…watch!
