The Girl [nickname #4,347] has started saying this new thing. It's Let me ask you one question. I'm not sure where she picked it up, but it wasn't from me.
So for instance, she'll say:
Let me ask you one question.
I pooped.
or
Let me ask you one question.
I want one more show.
I think we need to review the meaning of question, for one thing. And the meaning of one, for another, because she reached her maximum show allowance by about 9:15 this morning.
After lunch today she was having trouble sharing her train set with Bo. Then she had some trouble keeping her hands to herself. Then she had some trouble with telling me the truth about the sharing and the keeping of her hands to herself, and so she had to go spend some time in her room. After we had a little chat, she came out and bent down to look Bo in the eye.
Let me ask you one question.
I'm sorry.

After nap we got in the car to go to Costco, and she said Let me ask you one question five times. None of them were questions.
On the way back home we talked to Daddy on speaker in the car and she said Let me ask you one question... I don't remember what she said, but it was not a question.
As we hung up, Lee said Mary Bullock, let me ask you one question.
Yes, Daddy? [She really says it this way]
I love you.
Definitely not a question.
Ugh, goosebumps. Love this.
ReplyDeleteMia says, "I just wanted to ask you that..."
Never followed by a question.
I just wanted to ask you that you're dress is really cute today.
I just wanted to ask you that I want some candy.
Maybe they should hang out. Then again, maybe they shouldn't.
so sweet:) love your writing!
ReplyDelete@Brooks- Hilarious that Mia does the same thing! Maybe they got it from someone at school? They definitely should hang out! As long as they are hanging out with you. :)
ReplyDelete@Burton- Thank you!
