Breakfast negotiations with 5-year-olds
Daughter: Let’s eat breakfast.
Me: Ok. Let me just take a shower first then we’ll go downstairs and have breakfast.
Daughter: Um. I have an idea. Let’s eat breakfast first and then you can take a shower.
Pause.
Me: Ooook. Fine. I’ll just go potty first.
Yes, I actually said that.
Me, after returning: Ok, let’s go eat.
Daughter: How about we eat breakfast in bed?
Me, sarcasticly: How about you just let me know when you’re ready.
Daughter, sincerely: Ok, Daddy.
