Child enters room from outside...
"Mom, 'So-and-so' spit on me," she says.
Interrogation session ensues...
"Did you spit on your sister?" ...followed by silence.
Mom explains, "Pigs spit. Are you a pig?'"
"Noooo," replies So-and-so with squinty eyes and smirk.
"Do you want to go live with the pigs that spit or stay here with people?" Mom chides and continues, "I can drive you there right now."
"I want to stay here," So-and-so says with certainty.
Child obediently complies without complaint. I wish it were always this easy.
Haha, I'm totally looking forward to this part of married life! ;)
ReplyDeletePigs do not spit. Camels spit, maybe alpacas or llamas. Nothing else I know spits, but they all make spit. Just had to clear that up for you. :) (Yes, I am a smart aleck) (Where is that expression from anyway??)
ReplyDeleteYou're taking the fun out of it...of course pigs don't spit.. if I had substituted alpaca, he wouldn't have associated with it and thus, it would have blown my whole point of a teaching moment. But you bring up a valid point ~ which is ~ you ARE a smart aleck :-D Camels spit?
