Communicating With Kids!

Posted on 18. Dec, 2008 by frank in family

This morning I got a late start to my day and had to rush out of the house to get Michael to preschool on time. So while I went out to the car to scrape the frost off the windshield and pull the car up to the house, Shelli was getting Michael’s coat and hat in place. On her blog she shared this conversation:

Michael – “Where’s daddy going?”

Me – “He’s going out to pull the car up for ya.”

Michael – “Daddy no do that.”

Me – “Why?”

Michael – “Car too big for daddy pull.” (While he’s saying this he is motioning as if he’s pulling his wagon.)

Me – “Oh, you’re right. I meant that he’s driving it up to get ya.”

Michael – “Up?” (As he’s pointing up…)

Me – “No, I guess that doesn’t make sense either. He is driving the car over to us.” (I then grabbed him and his bags, quickly brought him downstairs and passed him off to Frank as I was laughing.)

I was so bummed to hear about missing out on that one, I think I would have laughed so hard that we would have been late for school!
