Everything is new to kids. This probably why they hardly ever listen, they just don't believe you and haven't had the experience to know that someone else might know better.
Yesterday our 3 year old decided she'd like a pudding after her dinner. She knew we had some choclate mousses in the fridge, asked politely and my wife gave her one.
As an aside, I'm not sure how much longer this asking politely business is going to last. I suspect it'll stop shortly after she starts school but, I live in hope.
Anyway, the mousse disappeared in short order and she asked for another one. "No, if you have too much you'll get a tummy ache." advised her Mum.
Undeterred she waits 'til no one's looking and sneaks into the fridge for another treat. An hour later she's got the tummy ache Mummy warned her about.
I get home from work and we spend our usual half-hour sitting on the sofa together before her bedtime. This is precious time for me but was somewhat spoilt when the chocolate mousses made a grand, though not unexpected, reappearance.
Yummy!
