January 27th, 2013
Elliora: DADDY I NEED RAISINS.
Troy: You’re supposed to ask nicely, like, “Daddy, can you please get me something?”
E: Daddy, can you please get me something?
T: No, you’re supposed to say, “Can you please get me the thing I need?”
E: Daddy, can you get me the thing I need?
T: I mean, you say the thing you need, like, “Daddy, can you please get me raisins?”
E: Daddy, can you get me raisins?
T: Can I get a “please” in there?
E: Please in there.
T: No, I mean, can you say, “Daddy, can you please get me raisins?”
E: …DADDY I NEED TOMATOES.

Being a toddler sounds so complicated.
Attagirl! Way to break Daddy’s spirit, Elliora ;-)
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I forgot to tell you – On Thursday morning, she asked me for something and I said “Can I get a please in there?” just so she’d say “pleaseinthere”. So stinkin cute!
That’s an awesome conversation!
This is funny!! She is such a cutie, cutie, cutie!!!
This is funny!! She is a cutie, cutie, cutie!!!
She’s awesome. You should keep her.
Remind me to never ask Troy for raisins.
This sounds an awful lot like conversations with my Mom – who also happened to be an English teacher.
Me: Mom, can I go out and play?
Mom: You CAN, but you may not.
*sigh*
I feel your pain E. …and I’m with Yara.
This is brilliant. Made me laugh out loud. :)
This just made me laugh again. :-)
