Me: Can I have a hug?
Search: No. <Eye roll. Puts nose back in book.>
Me: Want me to read you a story?
Search: No. <Eye roll. Puts nose back in book.>
Me: <Using my mom voice.> Destroy Anthony! Get off of that table. We do not scale coffee tables. Get down. <Destroy begins wailing.>
Search: Uh oh…<Cackle.>
Me: Can you show brother how to go down the slide?
Search: No. <Runs over to slide. Dives down slide head first.> NOOO!
Me: Are you ready for bed? Do you want to go night night?
Search: No. <Scampers over to stairs and starts climbing.>
Me: I thought you said “No.”
Search: No ni ni! <Sticks thumb confidently in mouth. Curls up into little ball.>
Jon: Wow. He really is COMPLETELY your child.
Search: <Sly smirk. Giggle. Cackle.> EhhhhhhOliana dodoh bababah mo mymo MIKEWAZOWSKI!
Me: He totally said Mike Wazowski!
Jon: I really don’t understand you…
First lesson: Do not ask “yes/no questions”. Ask “open ended questions” Example : “What would you like to read before bed tonight?” or ” How do you go down the slide?”.
Who the heck is Mike Wazowski? Is he an athlete? I will “google” him.
OMG – I was just going to type the EXACT thing my sister just typed – including Mike Wazowski. I guess brilliant minds think alike!
By the way, ask me if I want to go to work today – NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha Joanne! My thoughts exactly, however, I was not up at the ungodly hour of 5:16 am to write a post. I too am clueless on Mike Wazowski. All I know is “the great and powerful Woz” of Apple fame.
wow. no offense, ladies, but you need to embrace your inner child and go watch monsters inc.
So I didn’t get it either. Maybe this will help
