From the backseat…
Jack: Mom, can we stop and get some orange juice?
Mom: Yup. We still have some apple juice, though. But if you would rather have orange juice, we can stop and get some.
Jack: But can we take the apple juice back? Like, return it?
Mom: No, we can’t return the apple juice. It’s almost gone.
Jack: I know, but can we, like, return it? Like at Target, when we return something that we want to return.
Mom: No, Jack. The apple juice is half gone.
Jack: I know. But like, can’t we, like, give it back to the store?
Mom: No, Jack. We can’t. You can’t return food.
Jack: No, Mom. Not food. Apple juice.
Mom: Yes, Jack, I know what you’re talking about. Apple juice is food. It’s under the category of food.
Jack: No, Mom. Not like apples. Apple juice. It’s a drink. Can you return it?
Mom: I know what you’re talking about. Fruit, veggies, drinks, and cereal… stuff like that is food. Dogs, cats, zebras, and elephants are under the category of animals. Get it?
Jack: Yeah, but can we return the apple juice?
Mom: No, honey. We can’t.
Jack: Well, anyway, can I have a piece of gum?
*Yes, I know that it’s possible to return food. But I just wasn’t going there with him at that moment.*

Aaaahhh! This conversation sounds just like one I would have with Gary. They make me want to pull my hair out. What little I have left, anyway! Why do they have to ask the same question over and over again?

Sometimes it’s those conversations that either make me belly laugh or make me want to bang my head against the wall. Still provides fun blog fodder right?

I agree with Jenny. I have these conversations all the livelong day. They have to be hilarious. Otherwise, these types of conversations would render me insane.

Ugh! Those conversations make me crazy! And I have WAY too many of them with my extremely challenging 4 year old. I just keep reminding myself that her stubborn persistence will pay off later in life…if we make it that far…
