Every time my 3yo doesn’t want to do something she says “no, cuz it’s yucky” and when I give her another option she says “no, cuz it’s too early for it” and I mean, how do you argue with THAT logic?!

Me: They're just like French fries.

There's a flaw in her logic, but I can't find it.

According to my 3yo it's Christmas.
Because all the chocolates from her Advent calendar are gone.
Because she snuck them into her room and ate them all.
And since I don't have the energy to argue with toddler logic,
Merry Christmas everyone!

5: (Sees me eating dinner, double-fisting with a glass of wine and water) – Ummm, Mommy, since you have 2 drinks can I at least have 1 glass of chocolate milk?

Shower Logic for Kids:

Me: No. It’s 7 o’clock in the morning. We don’t eat snacks before we have our breakfast.
5: Well mommy, it’s not 7 o’clock everywhere. We can have a snack now.
So apparently “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” can be used for kid snack logic too.
