Rewind four years to Isaac and I sitting on a couch. We were talking about raising the little Isaac. I remember telling him, ' I will never say things like, want me to give you a reason to cry?, I am not going to tell you again, if Johnny jumped off a cliff would you jump off a cliff? and my favorite...'because I said so!'. In my wonderful "I'm not a parent yet so I know everything" mind frame I just knew I was always going to be able to say things calmly, have an explanation for everything, and not lose my cool. If only I could see the future. See things like what happened today....
We have made some new wonderful military friends. Stephanie, Kaylee, and Noah have been great. Noah and Isaac are on the same t-ball team and close to the same age. And Stephanie and I really enjoy hanging out. We have started working out together. While we do our workout DVD Isaac, Noah, and Kaylee play in Isaac's room. Today after they left Isaac bust out with a story....
Isaac: Mom, I have a story to tell you
Me: uh huh
Isaac: Noah and me ate frog food .... tee hee hee
Me: uh huh...WHAT?! YOU ATE WHAT?! Show me what you ate?!
Isaac: *pointing to his now empty bottle of fish flakes* Frog food! ha ha
Me: That is NOT funny! Gross! * going into panic mode and texting Steph to let her know what happened and then calling poison control*
Me: lucky for you it's not posioness but your stomach is going to hurt and you're gonna have diarrhea. How much did you eat?
Isaac: *sounding really disappointed* I only got 3 bites. Noah ate the rest *sigh*
Me: Did Kaylee eat any?
Isaac: She was gonna have 1 bite but Noah took it from her and said, "yum!"
Me: Isaac, why did you eat the fish food?
Isaac: I didn't eat fish food, I ate frog food.
Me: Why did you eat the frog food?
Isaac: Noah climbed up and gave it to me...
Me: Well, if Noah ate poop would you eat poop!?
Isaac: *horrified look on his face* NOAH EATS POOP!?
Me: No! Noah, does not eat poop...
Isaac: Then why you say Noah eats poop?
Me: I wasn't saying Noah eats poop. I was saying if he did eat poop...
Isaac: But Noah doesn't eat poop.
Me: My point is don't eat fish food because someone else does it and tells you to
Isaac: Why?
Me: BECAUSE I SAID SO!
Totally get my mom now. Because I said so is beyond a valid response :)
