On the outside

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

I never realized I missed out on an iconic part of American youth summers until I realized I have never drank from a hose.

Doesn't it look good?

I do remember running through sprinklers and playing in the rain, and can't wait to experience them again.

I say No, No, No

What is it about toddlers that their favorite word is No? Ne, ne, ne all day long. Do you want a drink? Ne (accompanied by a head shake and wave of the hand, then proceeding to down several ounces of water). Do you want to go to the pool? Ne. (Immediately followed by running to the door saying Poo, Poo, Poo.) If they don't really understand what it means, why on earth do they say it so much? And how do they know the correct body language in order to be so dismissive? I can't combat that.
