The kids were being a little rowdy at bed time yesterday so I ordered them out of the room to stand on the staircase landing to contemplate their rowdiness.
I then heard the following conversation through the door:
Peanut: We must have a discussion about this! Mummy asked us to come out and discuss this!
Lion: Discuss what?
Peanut: Why we were noisy. So can you tell me why did you tickle me?
Lion: Because you disturb me first.
Peanut: But you didn’t have to tickle me right?
Lion: But you disturb me first.
Peanut: But why did you tickle me?
Lion: …I don’t know…
Peanut: You must tell me the answer! Why did you tickle me?
Lion: …I really don’t know…This discussion is going on for so long time. I just want to go back and tell Mummy that I want to go to sleep.
Peanut: No! Cannot! We must have this discussion. So that we can find the solution!
Lion: I don’t want to discuss! I want to sleep.
Peanut: So why did you tickle me? Answer me first!
Lion: I don’t know. I don’t do it anymore, okay? The discussion is over.
The door opens. The kids return (with a cat trailing in behind them) and crawl back into their beds while the cat curled up at the space beneath Lion’s feet. Soon enough, they fell asleep with no further trouble.
I did everything that I could not to burst out laughing.
This is hilarious! And so precious. Heh.
Heh. They have the most hilarious conversations together.
Haha! I love how kids are like that – it’s always one disturbing another “first”, that seems to be such an important distinction as a kid, I was like that with my sister too, and the kids are like that too.
Very cute! 🙂
I know right! I have to adjudicate these fights a few times every day! It’s gotten worse now that my small one is in this whiny / complain-y phase.
I usually give them this glare and send them out to sort it out between themselves. Hahaha!
