What a Vocabulary!
I have mentioned before Ray's bad eating habits. Watching her eat dinner tonight reminded me of the night a few weeks ago when she was playing up at dinner time.
She didn't want to eat her dinner, and I said that was fine, but she would not be getting anything else to eat all evening. Of course she didn't want that so she began to bargain with me.
Ray: "Can I eat two spoonfuls mummy?"
Me: "No ray eat it all"
Ray: "Can I eat three spoonfuls mummy?"
Me: "No ray, I didn't give you very much, so you have to eat it all"
Ray: "OK mummy, how many spoonfuls do I have to eat"
I was beginning to tire of this conversation, so I said "Ray I will not quantify it!!" Ray the screamed at the top of her voice "Quantify it mummy, QUANTIFY IT, QUANTIFY IT!!!".
Hubby and I tried so hard not to laugh, thankfully Ray was so caught up in her tantrum she didn't notice our amusement. She copies everything we say, we have to be so so careful!

UA: We try to avoid that at all costs. Lisa's little brother played that hand once too often with his mother and we swore we wouldn't get caught in that trap!
That was so funny! Thank
That was so funny! Thank you for giving me a smile this morning. It sounds like my house - my kids are always trying to get me to negotiate the number of spoonfuls they have to eat.
