Trials of motherhood... Kids Activities Blog

I don't know exactly how it started, but at some bespeak Rhett (two) associated medicine with gum.

When his older brothers ask for gum and I agree, Rhett starts pleading for medicine. I am sure at some point in the history of Rhett I must accept doled out Tylenol for teething pain in the same hour that his brothers received mucilage. For some reason the connexion stuck. Really stuck.

Rhett has e'er had a complex well-nigh how mean I am for now assuasive him gum at his tender age. In his mind he is five…so what is the big deal? I recall that his revenge is this medicine plea which quite honestly may crave my mental institutionalization in the nearly future.

This is a sample conversation. Please call back the kid is two:

Brothers: Mom can we have gum?
Me: yes.
Rhett: Mucilage?
Me: No.
Rhett: Medicine?
Me: No.
Rhett: My mouth hurt. Medicine?
Me: No.
Rhett: My toe hurt. Medicine?
Me: No.
Rhett: My arm hurt. Medicine?
Me: No sweetie, I am non giving you medicine today.
Rhett: I fell at Target (points to head). Medicine?
Me: No. We didn't go to Target today.
Rhett: I roughshod at Peter Piper Pizza (points to toe). Medicine?
Me: No. We haven't been to Peter Piper Pizza for a month.
Rhett: I fell at Chuckeee-Cheeeeeee (points all over). Medicine?
Me: No. I told you that I am not giving y'all medicine today. You are fine.
Rhett: Ryan hit me (big blue eyes looking up with tears pooling). Medicine?
Me: No. Your brothers are in the other room. No i hit you.
Rhett: Reid kick me (lower lip trembles). Medicine?
Me: NO! Rhett, your brothers haven't hurt y'all. I repeat. I am not giving you medicine. For whatsoever reason. Anytime today. None.
Rhett: Mucilage?

He has very convincing argument. To date I take stood stiff in my resolve. But he is wearing me downwards.

I cannot say that a jury of his peers would exist so rock solid which is why I am keeping him abroad from any ambulence chasers. That falling in public story coupled with the large blue optics filling with tears would sway even the toughest judge…
