jadedmusingsMe: "Time for a bath."
Kiddo: "Bath? But school is closed.*"
Me: "I know school is closed, but you still have to take a bath."
Kiddo: "...oh. But it's not night time."
Me: "Yes it is. It's after eight o'clock."
Kiddo: "No it's not!" *walks over to the window, pulls back the blinds, and points outside where it's just getting to be dusk* "See!"
Me: *wonders if this talking thing is still as great as she made it out to be*
In all fairness, he did go to the bathroom and got ready for a bath without me needing to say anything else and he was joking around rather than talking back. This time last year, such an exchange would have been impossible, and the fact that he's learning how to play with words, and knows how to make jokes, is great. Of course, he's starting to show he inherited my sarcastic/smart-ass attitude too, which I suppose is parental karma coming to bite me in the ass.
* = While normally one would say "School is out," in the kiddo's case, this is true. His school is closed and won't be reopening, sadly.
