marking territory

Monday, August 15th, 2011

these are the kinds of conversations that happen after small children are playing by themselves all-too-quietly upstairs for 20 minutes:

me: bird, tell me where you tee teed so i can clean it up.

bird: on the blocks, at the top of the stairs, and in the monkey’s room.

me: where in the monkey’s room did you tee tee, exactly.

bird: the monkey’s room is upstairs, mom.

me: i know, but where did you tee tee?

bird: the blocks, at the top of the stairs, and in the monkey’s room. you’ll do a good job, mama.

tune in next time for another installment of authoritative nonsense!
