Grant just came in from playing with his brothers. He was crying and upset. I comforted him, rocked him, soothed him.
He suddenly sat up:
“Hey Mom! can I have a Brownie?!”
Because I’m a sucker:
“Sure buddy, but go wash your hands.”
“I will just use my tears to do it.”
“Nope, you need to go to the bathroom sink and use soap.”
“Well tears are wet. It would work.”
“True. They are wet. But it’s use soap or no Brownie.”
I’m not a total push-over.
You tell em mom!
I like his logic.
thanks for stopping by my blog.
Awww – he can work it can’t he. Good for you for standing your ground on at least personal hygiene 🙂
I so get this. With two sweet boys myself, I’m pretty much a sucker every single day.
Welcome to SiTS!! Em
Oooo, he’s a smooth one. I’m telling you, told you earlier, too. Change your phone numbers, change the locks on the door. This boy of yours is going to be one heck of a doozie when he grows up.
Those kids, always trying to get one over on us moms!
I often use my tears to wash my hands. I’ve heard they are sanitary. Something to do with the salt.
What a sweet child.
your kid is hilarious! where does he come up with these?!? i too, love his logic, in a way, he does make sense.
good for you for holding your ground!
grant is hilarious though! how do you keep a straight face when he says these things?!?
Kids they try and find the easy way out. To sweet — hope he enjoyed his brownie. TFS
water conservation at it’s best!!
We go in tomorrow for an induction!!! YAY!!!!!

At least it was just tears and not other stuff that comes out of the face when crying…
I like his angle though…”i’m crying, bet momma will let me have a brownie.”
Wouldn’t you crap if the other boys were outside looking in the windows going “No way! He said it would work and it did!”

I like his logic but as my mom would tell me “Do not pass go and do not collect $200, hon”
Kids are too funny!!
