>When a two-year-old – my two-year-old – hurriedly says, “I not doing anything, Mommy!” when I catch him being quiet, what it really means is, “I’m not doing anything… that I want you to know about“.
For instance, “I not picking my nose” means “I’m digging for gold“.
“I not eating my boogies” means “You don’t need to feed me lunch – I’m already full“.
“I not touching the water squirter” means “My clothes are drenched, and so is the couch“.
“I not eating chocolate” means “That piece of Ferrero Rocher you were saving because it’s your favorite? Can now be found on my fingers and in a ring around the perimeter of my mouth.”
It’s fun, breaking his codes. After the challenges he’s presenting me I’m practically ready to apply for a job with the NSA. If only they don’t find out about my nose-picking, boogey-eating son. That might hold me back.
