Fortunately, in the land of 3 small boys, inspiration is always waiting in the wings.
For some time now, Bab-E Brother has been proficient in his use of the 2 important words for 2 year-olds: "No!" and "Mine!"
But having two older brothers also means that he's more likely to pick up other key words.
Most recently, this has been, of all things, the W-word: Why?
It baffles me to think that he's using this word correctly at times, but in emulating his brothers, he seems to have it right. He's figured out that if Mom-E or Dad-E answer some questions with "No", that sometimes you ask "Why?"
And fortunately, it has not been an antagonistic "Why?
As an example, on the MLK holiday on Monday morning, Bab-E Brother heard a truck and asked "School bus coming?"
"No."
"Why?"
"No school for Big Brother today."
***
"Read truck again."
"No."
"Why?"
"We just read it 85 times, and it's bedtime now."
Methinks we're in trouble.
See you on Fatherhood Friday,
Busy-Dad-E
