My two year old, currently potty training, was sitting on my lap as I put her pajamas on. The conversation went as follows:
Baby girl, "I no poop on daddy."
Me, "thank you sweety and daddy doesn't poop on you. It's a deal."
Baby girl, " it a deal." hugs
The first social contract is made.
That's adorable.
My 10 year old can be quite volatile and prone to meltdowns. So I've taken to rick-rolling him whenever possible in these situations. Weirdly, it's a pretty good way of defusing a charged situation.
The line "you know the rules, and so do it" is especially good because I can build it into a counterpoint about his behavior that led to the argument. It took him a while for him to realize what I was doing, but now he knows and it's become kind of an inside joke.
So not only does it usually help calm things down, but I get to troll him.
That's amazing haha
Not exactly a conversation but my daughter really struggled to say 'bath bomb' the other day. It came out as 'bath bum', which is something much different.
Nice one!
My daughter sleep walks often and the last time she thought the bathroom was under the dining table. It took some convincing and she kept trying to climb under it...
I'm trying to think of one but now they are teenagers it's just been things like police visits because of defamatory tiktoks...
