Monday Minute: James Loses Youtube. Yep, again.
Sometimes parenting responsibly is, to quote James, so darn hard. But seriously, try reading this conversation out loud and tell me you didn’t snicker a little.
(at dinner)
James: So I’m really full.
Me: Well you can sit with us and play a few more cards.
James (sighs dramatically): Mooo-ooommm. I’m. Too. Full.
Me: To sit?
James: Yes.
Me: What are you going to do?
James: What can I do?
Me: Read a book? Play more Kidtalk with us? Draw?
James: Or….
Me: Nope.
James: Come on!!
Me: You lost ipod today.
James: What?!
Me: As you well know.
James: What about tomorrow?
Me; You can have it back then.
James: ……with youtube….?
Me: No.
James: What?!
Me: Why do you keep saying that?
James: I want youtube!
Me: Tough, Dad deleted it off of your ipod.
James: What?!! Why?
Me: Really? It was just this morning.
James (bangs hand on table): This is unfair.
Me: You have to stop watching bad things on youtube. Dad said you searched bad words again and he found you watching something inappropriate.
James: I think I searched for Mario and Luigi in the desert.
Me: Really? Dad took it for that?
James: Um….
Me: James, I know what you searched.
James: What?
Me: Are you really going to make me say it? at dinner?
James: Say what?
Me: You searched for “poopburping.”
James: I think having this conversation is going to upset me.
Me: Why would you search a term like that?
Margaret (gleefully): What did you say?!
James: Not at dinner mom.
Me: What?
James: This is inappropriate at dinner.
Me: It’s inappropriate anytime. You can’t use youtube for a while.
James: It wasn’t poopburping. I looked up “Mario burps” and poopburping just came on.
Margaret: Mom is laughing!
Me: No. I am not. This is very serious, and gross.
Adam: You are laughing.
Me: I’m not!
James (grumpily): I think she’s crying.
