I Change My Mind

There is a phase in childhood that I could do without.  The discussion always starts with ''Do you want x or y?''   Child will answer enthusiastically 'X! X! X!'.   And you think, fantastic, what a quick painless decision.

Oh you were wrong, so very, very WRONG.  It is the beginning.

Child is handed what they choose, then sees sibling has a different (color, kind, texture, size or variation).  Truely, seriously child one could have candy and sibling is holding raw meat, the other will now lose their everloving mind.  Why?  Who knows.

It must be something that comes with being three.  Lord help us through this stage.

Most recently, Trent was awarded three jelly beans for not having any potty accidents.  VERY excited about it.  Nom nom nom....down they went into his tummy.

Then five minutes later he is ridiculously incoherent in his room.  He has run down the hall, the wail of unhappiness crescendo-ing through the house.

Little Buddy, what do you want?  Mommy can't understand and this is not the nice way to ask for it.

''Mommy, I want a different candy.  I don't want my jelly beans.''

How am I suppose to get those jelly beans back out of your tummy?

''You, you get a drill and drill it in my tummy and and and take the jelly beans out.  I get a different candy"

Buddy, that sort of a big owies for me to drill your tummy for the jelly beans.

''No, no mommy.  You drill and get the jelly beans.  I get a new candy.  It's my plan.''

Mommy shakes her head and leaves the room chuckling.
