Last night:
Me: “Dude you need to go back to bed, it’s way late.”
Almost-5-year-old: “Let’s play a game. I will say things from a fairytale & you guess which one I’m thinking of & if you get it right I’ll go back to bed.”
Me: “This isn’t gonna go how you think, but fire away.”
5: “Ok there’s a girl & a forest &—“
Me: “Little Red Riding Hood. Go to bed.”
5: 😡 *stomps up stairs*
Me: *calls up after him* “YOU’LL NEVER STUMP ME ON FAIRY TALES, KID. TRY FOOTBALL NEXT TIME.”
