Scene: Last night, bedtime for boy. Family is sitting on the couch when the anouncement comes.

Mom: Okay, Connor it's time for bed. Did you brush your teeth and go to the bathroom?

(Nods from boy)

Dad: Come give me a hug.

Boy: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9....(deep breath)...10...(slows pace down) 11 12 13 14 15 16 17...

Dad: Whoa, Stop. What's up with all the counting?

Boy: First you say 1, then you say 2 and then you have to say 3 and then you have to say 4 and then you say 5 and then you have to say 6.....

Both parents: stop, Stop...STOP!!! Okay, we get it. Thank you. (try not to laugh)

Awww, so cute! Hard to believe your little one is 4 already. I've been reading your cute little stories because he's just about the same age as my guy.

Thanks! Glad to know people read my stuff even though I don't post often.

I'll have to try that one day! (Actually, my kids are fairly well trained....at least in regards to bedtime and naps)

That is hilarious! I love it when kids get snarky like that, at least when it isn't my own kids!

This is funny. I love how their little minds think.

They do test your not-laughing-buttons often don't they?

That is true. it's hard to yell at a kid when your husband is laughing.
