I now know that when my wife asks if I can do something and I respond with “likely” that she assumes I meant “yes.”
almost anythink
hopefully… if I remain focussed.
I now know that when my wife asks if I can do something and I respond with “likely” that she assumes I meant “yes.”
Me: Time for sleep. Quiet your mind. Quiet your mouth. Quiet your body.
Son: and my brains?
Me: yes, brains too.
Son: But they don’t want to be quiet. They want to talk.
Sometimes I sing-narrate what my son and I will do…
“brush your teeth with a toothbrush
“No daddy, with a tomato”
3 year old son: I told you that.
Mom: no you didn’t.
Son: at nap time.
Mom: no you didn’t.
Son: so I just told myself?
Mom: probably.
Me: you don’t have to be difficult all the time.
3 year-old: just sometimes?
he’s finding his boundaries
Me to my wife just now: maybe you’d be less tired if you didn’t overreact every time I said something stupid.
