ellem's Journal: [Sophie Says] It's Halloween... Stupid

ellem Sophie are you excited about Christmas and Santa?

Sophie It's Halloween.

ellem No, baby it's Christmas-time.

Sophie No, it's dark. It's Halloween.

ellem Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's Halloween.

Sophie It's Halloween, Stupid!

ellem OK then, Happy Halloween.

Sophie Thank you Daddy.

You got off easy this year....

Just give her a bag full of candy for Xmas, makes shopping a lot easier.

If you give a toddler a bag of sugar, you'll all be up for 7 days and 8 nights :)

This morning I was going to tell Ellem to to say,
"Ok, we'll give all the presents to your brother, instead, since you don't believe it's Christmas,"
but I doubt he wants to be that cruel :)

Re:

[ellem]

oooh I like that

if you do it

[artifex2004]

make sure her brother is there, too, because he'll add to it by saying, "ooh, yeahh" and rubbing his hands :)

Remember, if you can't be nice, be dramatic.

Meh

I'd shove her in the corner for calling me stupid. :-p

Rosia's family give's kids time outs for not using proper polite words 100% of the time when talking to adults!!!

I have a cousin, whom at 6 years old, when she would pick up the phone, would ask "Who the f*ck is this?" !!! Stupid seems so mild by comparison, lol.

Re:

[ellem]

hey stupid is WAY better than dumbass!

it took two weeks to ween her off that word!

Re:

[Com2Kid]

Two weeks? lol. You are too nice.

I am an advocate of the "Oh, so you want to sit down again?" school of thought.

Re:

[ellem]

yeah... ummm... Sophie... Short of removing a limb... she just doesn't care. Guilt works. Pain, not so much.

Re:

[Com2Kid]

Oh. One of those types. Bleck, hard to deal with!

One time I threw my nephew out of an (open, first story) window (feet first).

I threatened to shut it and throw him out again if he came back in. ;-D
