Conversations with a Toddler

Ethan, " Mom, what's a Showoff?"
Me, "Why? Did someone call you a showoff?"
Ethan, "Wesley called Riley a showoff and then she told on him."

short Pause

Ethan, "Then he called me a showoff and I told him I wasn't a showoff....I was a showon."

hahahaha

Exactly buddy, if someone calls you a showoff you just tell em, yep, the show is on :)

"LOOK MOM!!!!  He painted all over himself!" Ethan SHOUTED in shock, because obviously this man is going to get in big trouble by his mom when he gets home for painting all over himself and not on paper, and also laughing at the same time one of these "ha amateur", "doesn't he know better" laughs

Ethan, "Mom, what the heck is Claire doing?"

Me turning around from doing dishes to see, in the middle of my living room floor; a pile of blankets, next to a massive pile of everyone's shoes, next to a line of coloring pages.

Claire, without missing a beat, "I'm building my ice cream shop."
