Sweet Talker


A true conversation I had with Josh this morning:

Joshie: Oh Mommy, you are so pretty! Pretty pretty.

(This took me aback because I was in my grubbiest clothes and coloring my hair. And cleaning my mess in the bathroom. Pretty? He was either being a cute toddler or he wanted something.)

Me: Oh, thank you, Joshie. Why am I pretty?

Joshie: You pretty. Look, I have a Spiderman book! Can I have juice?

Me: You've already had juice today, sweetie.

Joshie: But you're pretty, and I want juice!

Me: What makes me pretty?

Joshie: Your hair is pretty. And your tummy.

Me: You win. Let's get you some juice.
