sometimes kids mirror your behaviour. and sometimes it's not pretty.
"Mummy, I'm very, very upset."
"You're upset?"
"Yes, I'm very, very angry with you."
"You're angry with me?? What did I do?"
"You are very, very naughty."
"What? What did I do that was so naughty?"
"You smacked the dinosaurs."
"Oh, I did? Well, I'm sorry. They started it, but I'm sorry."
"That was naughty."
"Yes, I know that now. I'm sorry."
"Go to the Naughty Corner!"
"What?"
"I said 'go'!"
Oh. Oh my. HAHAHAHA!

Yesss...
When my four year old sought to reprimand me a few weeks ago, he called me my name( well, his name for me) with HIS middle name attached, as I do him when he has just pushed all of my buttons. So it was, "Mommy James!" You know my ears just perked up, then.

This had me snickering like an idiot! Too cute! I can imagine the seriousness with which it was said. It's amazing how early we start to sound like our parents
