So our soon-to-be 3-year old Avery has gotten a bit sassy in her old age. In the last couple of days, here are a couple of exchanges I've had with her:
Scenario 1:
[Avery is sitting at the table eating breakfast]
Me: Avery, what flavor yogurt would you like?
Avery: [Silence]
Me: Avery, I asked you a question and I need you to answer me. What flavor yogurt would you like?
Avery: [Silence]
Me: Avery, I'm going to ask you one more time. What flavor yogurt would you like?
Avery: [Puts a grape in her mouth, but no reply]
Me: Avery, go to the corner.
Avery: Mommy, it's not good manners to talk with food in your mouth. I can't answer because I'm eating a grape.
Scenario 2:
Me: Avery, please put your toys away.
Avery: [False, loud laughter, but no movement to put her toys away]
Me: Avery, I asked you to put your toys away.
Avery: Mommy, it's not bad manners to laugh.
