His mom and I are considering the old standby: duct tape and a dirty sweat sock.

Better hope he grows out of it. NukeBoy2 is 8 and still talks like that. I sometimes refer to it as diarrhea of the mouth. Verbal immodium (“PLEASE STOP!”) doesn’t always work either.

@Dad Stuff — yes, it is. He likes the Jimmy Dean stuff. Nothing but the best.

@Tyler — oh, you’re in for such a fun time. You’ll love it, though. The cuteness factor overwhelms the annoyance.

@WeaselMomma — I can count on one hand the number of days per year he IS cooperative.

@Momo — I get that too, from time to time. Then I’ll tell him something like “Well, I want you to behave yourself, but I don’t get what I want either.”

My son would say he wants sausage and then as soon as I set it in front of him, he’d say, “Actually, I want bacon.”

UGH, sometimes they just aren’t in the mood to cooperate.

Oh man – our oldest won’t be 4 until October and I can only imagine the conversations we’ll have.
At least you’re good about getting him fed and dressed before tv. We try the tv in hopes it will take her mind off getting ready.

Sausage is yummy. It was a good choice.

That’s one of the reasons I’m writing it down. Deep down, I know it’ll pass… and he’ll move on to something else. Then I’ll look back on all of this and wonder what happened to that little boy.

It must definitely be a 4 thing cause I was shaking my head and grinning the whole time I was reading this. Our daughter is the same exact way. Gotta love it .. sometimes.

@seashore – you’re right about that. on days when I have to take care of him, my list consists of one agenda item: make sure he’s breathing at the end of the day.

@being – Good to have you here! I’ll have to hop over and check your blog out.
