A week ago on a Sunday morning my 4 1/2 year old came into my room at around 6:30 AM toting a bag of cheese puffs. I should add that we buy organic, baked, cheese puffs at Whole Foods Market and the brands we get actually have cheese in them. I should also add that said bag of cheese puffs were up in one of the kitchen cabinets. The only way he could have gotten the bag was if he climbed up onto the counter, by way of step-stool. He probably stood up on the counter top too.
Little Man woke me up from a dead sleep and said, "Mom, can I have these for breakfast?" In a half asleep daze I replied no. Now here's another interesting bit from the story. The bag of chips in question had been opened the day before. It was only closed with a chip clip. I'm actually rather surprised he even asked. About 3 minutes later he came back into my room again holding the chip bag and said, "Mom, do cheese puffs have calcium?" I replied, "Yes they probably do have some calcium...but you're still not eating them for breakfast.
Part of me is amused and impressed that he tried to use reason to get what he wanted. Part of me wonders what on earth he will come up with when he's 10.
