2 classices from Tom, aged 3, yesterday. Very excited that his big sister had come to visit and having not seen her for many months, trying to engage her in conversation.
Jenny, can I ask you a question/
Yes baby, what is it?
I like potatoes.
That's not really a question, more of a statement.
(at this point I stepped in and explained that you had to play the game, come back with an "I like... " statement of your own)
Ahh, I see, um I like Tom.
And back and forth again, until it was Tom's turn again
Jenny, pause.... I like destroying things.
Choke! Gulp! Cough! (but a very accurate self statement nonetheless!)
knowing all the members of this little scenario I can see it all playing out and it makes me chortle xxx
