Actual Conversations With My Six Year Old In Quarantine
Happy Mother’s Day, folks.
The last Lucky Charms cereal bar
Me: Hey, do you want this last cereal bar? I’m trying to clear out the pantry of random stuff. It’s a one-off, so, this is the last one from… months ago.
6 year old: Oh. YES.
(Twenty minutes later…)
6 year old: Can I have another one of those Lucky Charms bars?
Me: Um, that was the last one, remember?
6 year old: (Eyes tearing up) But if I knew that I would have eaten it so much slower!
Also me:
By the way, the new bars were expired. Luckily, Target made it right and I have since made a breakfast nook on top of our mini beverage fridge. Now my daughter can easily grab a breakfast bar, drink, and string cheese when I’m busy working. It’s been life changing.
The mini tantrum
6 year old: Mom, can I do ______? [Can be literally anything to which I say “not right now.”]
