This tooth fairy thing has legs…
Rockstar: Mum. Look at this. <snorts> It’s a bit funny. (From 24 people nailing this parenting thing)
Me: Oh. But they (tooth fairies) don’t exist, do they?
Rockstar: That’s obviously written by a mum.
Me: Why not a dad?
Rockstar: It’s definitely a mum.
Me: What makes you so sure?
Rockstar: <authoritatively Dads usually do the fun stuff. Mums are usually the ones who tell you to do all these other things that you also have to do that aren’t fun.
Me: Wow, you’re biased.
Rockstar: Remember when (friend in Kindy)’s dad bought him a whole tub of ice cream? He was on a diet!? That could kill him!
Me: Uh…… O-kay. Can we at least not talk about killing, when did you start with that word…
Rockstar: Ok, so basically, dads are fun, mums write stuff pretending to be tooth fairies.
Me: That is sooo biased. Half the time you’re already worse than me when it comes to your sister. So if you were a dad one day, being so anal retentive you wouldn’t get your kid a tub of ice cream now, would you? But you’d be a dad not a mum.
Rockstar: It’s not difficult. Just never tell them what ice cream is, they won’t want it.
Me: Oh, so what, now mums are doing it wrong? We don’t have to say no and be all “not fun,” instead we can just never tell kids what ice cream is?
Rockstar: How can you want something if you don’t know what it is?
Me: That works for really young kids, but…… How can you – oh and there are some actual countries that try to do that, some governments…… ok some other day. Mummy is tired.
Rockstar: Look how wobbly my teeth are! Especially this one!
Me: Yeah ok very good.
Rockstar’s logical way of reasoning is really astounding for his young age. 🙂
It comes and goes…. Sometimes it’s gibberish and jumping on the bed, sometimes it’s well, THAT.
