Tonight I was changing Théoden's diaper to get him ready for bed and he was crying that it wasn't bedtime, while clutching a Lego car in his hand. I asked, "You want to play with Legos some more?" And he wailed, "Yes!"
So I said, "Well, let's practice how you ask."
Me: Say, "Please, Mama,"
Theo: Please, Mama,
Me: "may I play"
Theo: may I play
Me: with Legos
Theo: with Legos
Me: for a little bit more time.
Theo: For a little bit more time. Amen.
Hahahaha. I'm still laughing. We explained to him that he never has to say "Amen" after asking me something.
