My Girl’s Gone Green.

So the other night I was putting Chlo to bed.  And for the record, she still wears diapers at night.

 

Anyway, so this night, I was talking to her and was all, “Chlo, you know, you’re going to have to start thinking about getting up at night and going pee pee in the potty.  So you don’t have to wear diapers anymore…”  And she starts crying, and is all, “Mommy, I’m too scared.  It’s too dark in there!”  So I tell her, “Well, we can leave the light in the bathroom on at night so you can see.”  But she goes, crying even harder, “Mommy, that’s a terrible idea!  We don’t want to waste electricity!!!”

 

Wow.  Wasn’t expecting that response.  What do you even say to that?!?  I just sighed and changed the subject…

 

So then tonight, she asked me about something, and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was.  But I told her no.  I suppose it doesn’t matter what it was, the funny part was her response at the end.  It might have been about watching a TV show.  But anyway, the conversation kind of went like this:

 

Chlo:  Mommy, can we watch another show?

Me:  I don’t think so.

Chlo:  I think yes.

Me:  I think no.

Chlo:  I think yes.

Me:  I think no.

Chlo:  (exasperated)  I’m not going to argue with you about this!

 

Then she just walks away.  I feel like that should have been my line.

 

Crazy child.
