From the mouth of Miles

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a bath, I look over at Miles (his bath, not mine) and he's standing there pulling on his nipple. Hard.

So I say, "Honey, that's not going to come off."

And he says, "Yeah, I'm just seeing if it will come off."

So I say, "Those are part of your body."

And he says, "Yeah. They don't come off. They're not play doh."

"No, honey. They aren't play doh."

--------------------------------------------

After a long day of NOT LISTENING AT ALL (Miles, not me) I put him in a time-out and he starts freaking out.

So I say, "Miles, I would stop doing that if I were you."

Pause.

"What, mommy?" with a look of confusion on his face- what do you mean, if I were you?

So I explain (really well). "You know. If I were you, like if mommy was you, I would make a good choice and listen to me."

A light bulb seems to go on and crosses his face, "Oooh, yeeeaaah....and then I would be the grown-up!!!"

Yeah. You would be the grown-up. You win. I surrender. Geez.
