Conversation #1
Me: Chase, are you stinky?
Chase: Nope.
Me: Chase, you need to tell the truth. Telling a lie is naughty. I’m going to ask one more time if you’re stinky, and if you don’t tell the truth then you’ll get in trouble. Chase, are you stinky?
Chase: Mmm, I don’t know.
Conversation #2Preface: After I put Chase down for a nap I heard him jumping on the bed. I went in.
Me: Chase, no jumping on your bed during nap time. Nap time is for sleeping, not jumping. Please sit down right now.
Chase: (Staring at me for a moment.) Please sit down right now.
Me: Chase, sit or lay down on your bed now please.
Chase: Sit or lay down now please.
Me: 1…
Chase: 1….
Me: 2…
Chase: 2…
Me: (Have to leave because I start giggling, then come back.) Chase, I’m going to count to 3 and if you don’t sit down you’re going to get a spanking. 1…
Chase: 1….
Me: 2…
Chase: 2…
Me: 3… Ok, you get a spanking.
Chase: 3… Ok, you get a spanking.
Me: (Spanking) Now lay down on the bed for your nap.
Chase: Lay down on bed for your nap.
Me: Chase…?
Chase: Momma…?
(I gave up. Then I realized I could threaten to take his cars away. He lied down. Why didn’t I think of that first?)
Conversation #3Preface: I put him down for a nap at 1:30, he came out at 3:00 without any sleep wrinkles and eyes wide open. I got suspicious.
Chase: Hi momma.
Me: Chase, did you take a nap?
Chase: Um…no.
Me: You didn’t take a nap?
Chase: Mmmm, no I didn’t.
Me: Come here.
Chase: Ok, yes momma.
Me: Thank you for telling me the truth.
Conversation #4Preface: I found him hiding in a corner and I smelled you know what.
Me: Chase, are you stinky?
Chase: No, I’m hiding.
Me: Are you hiding cuz you’re stinky?
Chase: Momma, you go hide too.
Conversation #5Preface: Chase talks to me ALL the time, so as the day goes on I respond less and less.)
Chase: (Watching the movie Cars) Momma there’s The King, just like my King.
Me: (I nod)
Chase: Momma, can you talk to me?
