In talking about all the things the kids are up to, I left a big one out. Bean's employing a new method of appeal to get what she wants. I call this the REALLY REALLY method. In use:
"But I really, really, really need [insert object of desire here: a cookie, to watch Dora, to leave her PJ's on, Squeaker's toy...]"
I have no idea where she learned this. Husband's typical response is "and I really, really, really want a million dollars." I don't think she understands this at all, but it usually confuses her long enough to stop the begging.
We're trying to teach the difference between "want" and "need." This is a tough concept in our materialistic society today.
