literally & to the letter - 08:02 AM
(filed under 'smiley')
kids take things so literally. i suppose it's a good thing.
here's an example. smiley had started a habit of rolling all the toilet paper off the roll so that it was lying in a pile on the floor until there was none left on the roll. needless to say, this was a bit annoying, so i decided to nip it in the bud.
i said that i didn't want him to do that. so that he didn't feel he couldn't take *any* toilet paper off the roll (so that he's not afraid to start wiping his own bum, whenever that might happen) i said that he could roll off a little bit, but if it rolled down as far as to touch the floor, he'd get a time out.
so now, instead, he's rolling it off & bunching it up into a tight ball as he goes so that it doesn't touch the floor. *snorts with laughter*
hmm. not quite what i had in mind. maybe i'll have to be even more specific next time. lol!!
