And... "WINE O'CLOCK"... sums it up!
Sometimes, "Wine O'Clock" arrives earlier and earlier. Especially after toddler days that are quite humorous. And perhaps, a bit draining.
"No, don't throw my keys in the toilet."
"No, don't scream and point -- use your words (the good words)."
Although, I think I am being a downer with all the "No Words". Let's try something new...
"Yes, let's see if the keys will float -- never mind that the remote will no longer work!"
"Yes, let's all scream and point -- I hope it works for me, too!"
"Yes, let's all pull out every single toy in our home and leave them out. First one to break a leg -- gets ice cream every day for a week!"
Last night, according to my toddler -- any event that happened in the past is announced as last night, at bedtime the toddler decided to experiment with mouth noises. Loud noises -- like distorted raspberries. Loud obnoxious blowing bubblish kind of noises.
After each newly created noise, she would ask, "Daddy, does the kitty like this noise?"
And after each question regarding her noise, Daddy did not respond. Apparently, he thought that if he did not say anything then she would just stop with the noise making. However, with this toddler, that does not work. Because she is like the little energizer bunny... and she will keep going and going and going... until she receives an answer.
We are up to the umpteenth noise and recurring question, "Daddy, does the kitty like this noise?"
And finally... AN ANSWER:
"NO, NOBODY LIKES THOSE NOISES!" responds Daddy.
{Toddler grew very quiet. And she quietly said, "But I do!"}
And I laughed. And laughed. Because sometimes life is just really funny. Well, maybe not to everyone...and I suppose you had to be there... but it was really funny. And I still laugh. And toddler, she is great at retelling the story! And I continue to laugh every time she retells the "noise story".
