Speaking Plainly

Hank is really starting to speak very clearly. He has a lot to say, and there is no hesitation in the conversation. He does not search for words. The words just flow.

Yesterday, he was getting a treat for going potty. He was suppose to give Charlie one too. The first time he did. The second time, this is what I heard.

Me: Hank, give Charlie one.

Charlie: AHHHHH, he didn't give me one. He ate both of them.

Hank: You not go potty. You have to potty.

Today, everyone was playing and tattling, playing and tattling, playing and tattling. We were also getting ready to leave the house, so I was tuning out as much tattling as possible. Until . . .

Hank runs up to me and says: Char-ee, basketball, gone

Me: (I'm trying to ignore him. Hoping they will work it out on their own.)

Hank just continues to say it over and over: Char-ee, basketball, gone

Me: Charlie where is the basketball?

Charlie: Oh, it's behind the red chair.

I go look. He has taken the cover off of the heating and air conditioning vent and put the ball down it.

Me: Charlie, why did you do that?

(Never got a straight answer. It's time to go.)

Me: Just get in the car.

Hank: (In his car seat) Char-ee not go to time out, Char-ee not go to time out, Char-ee not go to time out
