Today we were trying to get out the door for some errands. The boys wanted a quick snack, so I grabbed 2 fruit roll-ups, unwrapped them & told Leighton, "Do you promise to go take this to Brecken?" (who was already in the van) He assured me he would. As I was gathering up my purse & Zoe, Brecken stormed in and said, "I need TWO fruit roll ups because Leighton just ate mine!"
I grabbed another fruit roll up for Brecken & we headed to the van. Conversation follows:
Mommy: Did you eat both fruit roll ups?
Leighton: No, I gave it to him.
Mommy: Brecken said you ate his.
Leighton: Well, he GAVE it to me!
Mommy: Brecken?
Brecken: HE took a bite out of it!
Mommy: Leighton?
Leighton: Well, I did, but THEN, I gave it to him!
Brecken: I didn't want to eat it - YOU took a bite out of it.
After having Leighton apologize, I proceeded to explain that he did the wrong thing & that he made a mistake (thinking, just maybe, he forgot and took a bite...)
He quickly said, "Mommy, I didn't make a mistake."
I said, "You meant to take a bite?"
He said, "Yes."
Points for honesty the 2nd time around??? This kid...

De Ja Vu? I don't know if that is the correct spelling but too funny!! We have had that same conversation multiple times :) Boys will be boys!
Nice one LAW!
That kid is smart, I think I might love fruit roll ups as much as he does!
