When Mom Says No

kids on the stairs

A conversation between the 3 year old Monkey and Me.

Monkey: “Mom, why do you tell me No so much?”

Me: “Because I care about you” (short easy mom answer)

Without missing a beat….

Monkey: ” You sure care about me a lot”

When a Monkey Gets Hungry

Yesterday I put some delicious pineapple chicken on the grill, closed the lid and went inside.

Five minutes later, I walked outside to billowing smoke and flames shooting from the grill.

I yelled and wrenched the dials to off and while I’m pulling the chicken off the grill (thank goodness I left the tongs outside!)  Monkey comes running outside..

Monkey: “Mom, there’s a fire.. I’ll call 9-9-1!”*

I tell him that I have it under control.  It’s then THEN that I realize that I had to turn the dials on my grill ALL THE WAY off.  Which means that someone turned them to HIGH.  I whirl around to face the little monkey, who is holding my phone ready to dial 9-9-1.

I look  him in the eyes and ask: “Monkey, did you mess with the dials on the grill?

Monkey: “Yes, I was hungry and wanted the chicken fast”

We had a long talk about not playing with fire and leaving the grill alone.

Moral: When a Monkey gets hungry… the chicken gets burned.

burnt chicken

* you absolutely positively cannot convince him that the number is anything other than 9-9-1.

Architect of The Future

Architect of His Future

The blueprints are only in his head.

He is the one with the vision.

Building his worlds, it’s the only time that he’s still.

He builds them up and tears them down.

Going higher, wider, taller, farther…

There are no boundaries, no limits.

Just like his future.

He is the architect of that, as well.
