I’m at the beach with all my kids, my brother and his 4-year-old daughter, Ella Grace and my mom. Having a 1, 3, 4, and 5-year-old in close quarters is entertaining and LOUD, to say the very least. They all want the same thing…at the same time…all of the time.
One of them says, “I want to play with the ball!” And immediately the other two chime in, in unison, “I want the ball, tooo-ooo-ooo!” (Three distinct syllables.)
“I want a snack!’
“I want a snack, TOOO-OOO-OOO!”
“I want to go swimming!”
“I want to go swimming, tooo-ooo-ooo!”
You get the idea.
Yesterday my brother, Matt, was making them bowls of cereal, and very wisely chose the plastic bowls over the china.
Aubrey protested, “Uh! I want a glass bowl!”
“Of course you do,” Matt said, “you want something that will break.”
My niece Ella Grace didn’t miss a beat, “Dad-deeeeeee! I want something that will break tooo-ooo-ooo!”
Sounds like y'all are having a blast! Good thing that Matt's a daddy that knows better! I beg Shug is eating them all up!
i BET not beg!
I want to go to the beach toooo-ooo-ooooo! Yes I do know it's like 5 minutes from my house, but going to the beach with you would be so much more fun!!
And this is why I have one.
Thats how it always is they always want something they can have!
