So my three-year-old is smart enough to have figured out that "I have to go potty" trumps everything and uses it as an excuse to get out of just about anything she doesn't want to do. If she's feeling particularly savvy, she'll slip in "...or I'm going to have an accident." After shoving her brother off the ottoman today she swiftly got her hiney taken to time-out and predictably pulled out the old pee-pee excuse to escape punishment. But you can't fool me, no siree bob, so I told her that she was just going to have to have an accident and clean it up herself. For extra measure, she added in a little crotch grabbing and against my better judgment, I said o.k., go potty, because really, who was going to be the one blotting the pee out of the carpet? What a sucker.
She promptly resumed her jumping on the ottoman yelling "Oh my God, Japanese." Whatever that means.
