A three-year-old's logic

A recalcitrant Little Bit when I told her she had to leave a particular play area (at home) yesterday: “But I don’t want to!”

Me: “I don’t care. Let’s go. Now!” (Now! added when I saw she wasn't moving.)

LB (still not moving from her spot and crying loudly): “No, I not going!”

Me (seeing her feet dug in firmly): “Stop crying and come on. Don’t me have to pop your hiney.”

LB: “But if you spank me, it will make me cry more.”

Makes sense I guess but some days you just have to keep them from seeing you laugh.

Happy ending: She came with me, albeit reluctantly, when she saw I meant business. Dodged a bullet there, lol.
