This afternoon, I was struggling with Rebecca, who has recently decided that she would prefer not to have her diaper changed ever again. Hayden watched the writhing and screaming (from both of us) and offered some pointers (he’s already learning how to be a dad! 😉 ).
“Becca do not want to be wiped.”
I agreed with his astute assessment.
“You not wipe her?”
“I have to wipe her,” I explained. “She’ll get hurt if I don’t.” Apparently we’ve had the diaper rash discussion enough times before that he accepted this without argument. But after a moment, he offered one more piece of advice to help us avoid future encounters of the #2 kind:
“Becca, stop pooping.”
What incredibly logical arguments did/do your toddlers or preschoolers make?

Too cute and funny!!
You’ve probably heard a million times that your Uncle Jeff asked Grandma how he was ever going to grow big if he kept pooping everything out!
This was when he was little…not recently. 🙂
@TC—Thank you!
@Mom—yeah, I almost put that in here, but I couldn’t remember all the details. 😀
That is so funny! Love it. Thanks for sharing 😀
that is hilarious. Yeah, I’ll bet you WISH Becca would take that advice to heart! 🙂
Gwen doesn’t have logic yet. She gets all worked up if the goldfish swims behind the castle. Yeah. I don’t think she’ll be rational for a while yet. 🙂
