Oh really?

Bill was at his annual pie bike ride so I was manning dinner solo. This was the conversation mid green beans and macaroni and cheese.

C - today is Christmas.

me - No, it's Saturday. Today is Monday.

C - yes it is. Daddy told me that it's Christmas.

me - Carter, no, it's not Christmas.

C - YES IT IS. IT'S CHRISTMAS mom. Daddy told me.

me - C, I promise that it is not Christmas yet.

C- Yes it is. Daddy said so.

me - ok, who should we call to ask?

C - Grandpa.

me - C, eat your dinner. If you eat it all gone, you can have a treat. Then, if we need to call Grandpa, we can.

C - ok [and he got totally sidetracked by the treat, whew].

Dad - I saved you the awesome conversation with a 3 year old of "no its not", "yes it is" repeat ten times. You can thank me and that cookie later.
