And the conversations continue with Colby...
As previously mentioned Colby has entered the "why?" stage of life. Every conversation I have with him has at least 3 "whys" and I do my best to answer and still move the conversation along.
Scene: Pulling out of the parking lot of Kmart....and action...
Colby: Mom, I want a fish!
Me: We are not getting a fish.
Colby: Why?
Me: Because we watch Andrew's fish when he travels and that is enough fish for me.
Colby: Why?
Me: Because we don't need a fish.
Colby: Why? Wait, Stop! A grocery store, Mom, just stop here and we can buy a fish!
Me: Buddy, the only kind of fish we buy at the grocery store is the kind we eat!
Colby (with mind just blown): oh...okay...
So not the right answer but it shut him up and moved the conversation along! I'd still consider it a failed parenting moment but I'm okay with it!
