Civil Disobedience

Me: Caleb, please pick up your trains. It's time for a nap.
Caleb: Um. . . no, thank you.
Me: Yes. You need to obey Mommy. Pick up your trains right now, please.
Caleb: Um. . . no, thank you.


So, while it seems we need to work on prompt obedience, I'd say we have the polite words part down pat.

How cute! How do you keep a straight face when he does this?

That is too funny. How do you keep from laughing?

I remember a child who was taught to say "thank you, ma'am" or "thank you, sir" after they received a swat on the tush.
