Kidversations

When I picked Mason up last week from school he was just bubbling over with excitement. When I strapped him into his carseat he was still telling me about his day and told me he had a snack.
Me: Really, what did you have?
Mason: Cheese crackers
Me: Was it yummy? You like cheese crackers right?
Mason: Yeah

10 minutes later as we pass McD's driving home....
Mason: I want to go to McDonalds
Me: Mason, you had lunch already and you had a snack at school
Mason: Well..... Oh... no... I mean I didn't have a snack
Me: You said you had cheese crackers
Mason: I was just telling you a joke

driving home after we pick Mia up from school....
Mason: I want McDonalds I didn't get a snack today
Me: What? Yes you did
Mason: No I didn't
Me: Well, I'm going to ask Miss Elizabeth tomorrow ...
Mason: No
Me: ....if you had a snack....
Mason: No you can't
Me: today. Yes, I'm going to ask....
Mason: NO YOU CAN'T
Me: ....if you had a snack. You know when you lie you get soap in the mouth. So if....
Mason: MOMMA! I'm just jokin'
Me: you're lying to me....
Mason: I not lying, I'm telling you a joke. I remember I did have snack.

Mia and I dropped off Mason at his school and as we drive away I wave and say "Bye, Bye Mason".
Mia: Mom (I think the correct pronunciation is Mo-om) you don't say, Bye Bye you only say it once. Bye. So don't say Bye Bye to me. (I swear if she was only a little older she would have been rolling her eyes.)
Me: Why? Is that embarrassing if I say Bye Bye?
Mia: YES! So don't say it to me Okay.

Great my kid is embarrassed of me already. Sorry to tell you Sweetie Mia it's only going to get a lot worse for you.
