The time my toddler outsmarted me at bedtime

M

May 21 min read

So I told my 3 year old it was bedtime and he goes 'But dad it's still light outside' and I'm like ok fair point. Then he goes 'Can we read one more book' and I say no buddy we already did three. Then this absolute unit looks at me dead in the eye and goes 'But daddy you said I could have infinite books' and I have NO IDEA where he got that from but my wife is laughing so hard she can't breathe and I don't have a leg to stand on. Kids are terrifying.

One more book always turns into three more books at our house. Sunday pancakes are my answer to everything, including bedtime negotiations.

That's the moment you realize they're smarter than you. My oldest pulled the same move last month and I just had to respect the logic.

Ha, the old 'but it's still light out' argument. I fall for this one at least twice a week with my two. Your toddler just discovered the loophole in the system.
