Yes we have no apples in the laundry cupboard
Its been a big few weeks for Jacob. Besides learning to ride a bike without trainer wheels, draw in two dimensions and not to put stones up his nose he has also discovered lying.
This is real three-year-old lying. ie:he is totally crap at it and it's done with a strange sort of innocence.
For instance:
-Mama, I've finished my apple.
-Good boy.
-Don't look in the laundry cupboard mama.
-bewildered silence from mama who hadn't made any plans to look in the laundry cupboard
-Why shouldn't I look in the laundry cupboard?
-DON'T look in the laundry cupboard!
-I think I'll look in the laundry cupboard.
-No! Mama! DON'T look in the laundry cupboard!
-Is your apple in the laundry cupboard?
-No mama.
-bursts into giggles and runs from the room to laundry cupboard where he flings his arms across the door
If only it will always be this easy.
