Rendered Speechless
This afternoon I was playing dinosaurs with Max and farm animals with Boo (simultaneously) when Max hurled this one in from left field:
"I want a little sister."
Initially I didn't take him too seriously.
"Who would you like to have as a little sister?"
"I don't know her. I want her to come from inside your tummy."
"Mmm hmmm."
A few months ago I picked up a rather well-known book called "How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen and Listen So Your Kids Will Talk." I vaguely remember this as technique numero uno, and now seemed like an appropriate time to use it.
"I know what I want her name to be."
"Mmm hmmmm?"
"Red Rose."
"Mmmmmm hmmmmm."
I just couldn't think of anything else to say.
