This was just a little tale I thought I'd share.
Baby A takes things very literally, as all children her age do. So when her Daddy asked her to 'say when' when he was pouring a drink for her the other day, she understandably seemed a little confused.
'Say When', he said again, still pouring into her little cup.
She still looked confused but clearly wanted to say the 'right' thing.
Daddy still hadn't twigged that she didn't have a clue what that meant so insisted one final time, 'Come on, say when'.
She gave the best reply a 2 year old could give.
'Tuesday?' she said? With a look that said 'hopefully this is what you meant?'
I think she thought if she didn't get it right, Daddy was just going to pour water until it spilled. So she said the best thing she could think of to answer his rather odd test.
To all intents and purposes, it worked. Both Mr Big & I collapsed with laughter so he did stop pouring.
Poor Baby A. I hope she doesn't think the answer is always Tuesday every time someone says that!
