Conversing with young children AKA why I can no longer put together a coherent thought during an adult conversation

me - The toilet is for pooping, not for drinking.

----------------------------

me - ask me again, no really, ask, go ahead. I DARE YOU.

----------------------------

me- don't touch it. Don't touch it! DON'TTOUCHIT!

----------------------------

me- You're not the boss.

child - your mom's the boss?

----------------------------

me - No, you can't have any more vegetables. No. Eat your other food.

---------------------------

me - Run around the backyard 10 times. Get all your energies out

child - but I want my energies to be in!

----------------------------

child - while holding my butcher knife - I'm just gonna cut some flowers.

----------------------------

child - where's my thing?

me - what thing?

child - MY thing.

me- what thing?

child - my STUFF thing?

me - I don't know

child - momma, I have too much crap.

me - I know.

----------------------------

me - can you tell me a funny joke?

child - you're a joke!

----------------------------

child - Momma, I can't eat this. It doesn't match my underpants.
