Pete and Repeat

Posted by Stephen on January 11, 2007 – 7:48 am

Of late, Eli has taken to repeating “Mom? Mom? Moooooom?” over and over again. The typical conversation goes something like this:

ELI: Mom?
MISTY: Yes?
ELI: Mom?
MISTY: Yes?
ELI: Mom?
MISTY: Yes?
(ELI PAUSES AND LOOKS THOUGHTFUL.)
ELI: Mom?

Last night, Misty had had enough. Partway through the “Mom?” cycle, she said, “Eli, unless you have a question or something to tell me, pick a different word to repeat.”

Without missing a beat, Eli said, “Dad? Dad? Dad and mom? Dad and mom?”

    *snicker* He’s a smart kid. He did exactly what Misty told him to. Be careful what you ask for. :)

    You realize this is what we’re going to do when you visit now.
