How do you argue with that?
In the dining room, with the perpetrator sitting in his time-out chair. The Mommy approaches.
Mommy: Isaac, do you know why you got a time-out?
Isaac: I. Don't. Know.
Mommy: Because you didn't use your listening ears. I needed you to come inside so I could change your diaper. Now, when Mommy asks you to come inside, what do you do?
Isaac: I. Don't. KNOOOOOOW.
Mommy: You come inside. Can you say that?
Isaac: (mouthing amid a hideous smirk) I. Stay. Outside!
Mommy: No no no no no no. You come inside. You come in inside when Mommy asks you to come inside. Can you say that?
Isaac: (mouthing) I. Stay. Outside!
Mommy: (getting impatient) No no no no no no. Do you need another time out?
Isaac: (getting equally impatient, grabs Mommy's face on both sides) No. Mommy, LISTEN. I NEED TO EAT MY POOP.

Well then! Certainly a tension breaker!
I am literally on my sofa laughing my behind off. And also? I am a little relieved because when I change Beauxs diaper and tell him how it is so nasty and really he should do that in the potty to save my nose he will say "Poop nasty? I not eat it?" and I wonder where the heck did he learn to say something like that!?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
oh, man alive, thank you for letting me in. Because SERIOUSLY. I've missed you, Isaac!
Sorry ... I'm back. I had to change my drawers (I peed them) and had to go get my head bandaged up (I banged it on the floor when I fell over laughing) and I had to get the stitches in my side of course ... but I'm OK now.
I suppose it's better that he only said it instead of you finding out that he actu ... oh, never mind.
BTW, my first time here. Great site, great stories. Looking forward to reading them.
