The Mind of a 3 Year Old

Today, we were heading home, and it was already lunchtime. I was very hungry and I know the kids were, too. Well, they had been snacking all morning and I had not. Nevertheless, it was time to get home for lunch.

Big Girl: Mommy, can I have a snack?

Mom: No snacks. We are going home to have lunch. I am VERY hungry, are you?

Big Girl: No, I 'm full. I ate a lot of food. I had spaghetti at a restaurant yesterdaaaaayyy. I had some cheese yesterdaaayyy. I had some soup yesterdaaaay. (pausing) I had some quesadilla yesterdaaaayyy. I had some peaches yesterdaaaaayyy. So I am very full.

Mom: Oh, you did eat a lot!

Big Girl: Yes, I did, and I am full.

PAUSE

Big Girl: So, can I have a snack?

Sidenote: The spaghetti was over a week ago, the soup and quesadilla was at least 2 days ago. If only I was "full" for that long.
