Huh?

Posted on August 30, 2008

This morning I asked Chloe to pick up some of her toys because it was time for lunch (and then a much needed nap.) She looked at me with her sternest face, and said angrily, “I am not going to ride the choo choo AGAIN!” I was a little stunned, we weren’t playing with a choo choo, we weren’t talking about choo choo’s, and were certainly had no plans to ride a choo choo. So, I was a little thrown. I thought, “I must have misunderstood.” So, I asked, “What, honey, Mommy didn’t understand.” She looked at me with the furrowed brow and angry eyes, and said as clear as day, “I AM NOT GOING TO RIDE THE CHOO CHOO AGAIN!” I just said, “Okay, honey, you don’t have to. But you do have to pick up your toys.”
