This morning the boys were eating some Raisin Bran for breakfast. Enriquito was sitting at their little table in the living room and I had Gerardito in my lap, along with the baby in our big rocking chair. I was feeding Gerardito because when he tries to feed himself cereal, most of it usually ends up on his shirt or somewhere other than his mouth...needless to say, I was doing some preventative maintenance by feeding him myself. Since I was rocking the baby at the same time, I didn't want any of the milk to spill from the bowl, so I quickly sipped some of the excess milk out of the bowl(more preventative maintenance). I wasn't trying to take the kids cereal, but being your typical toddler, Gerardito interpreted it as such, and responded with a , "Nooooooooooooo".....you know those long no's with a fluctuated voice.
Apparently, at this point Enriquito felt the need to kindly step in:
Enriquito(kindly): Palito, no le hablamos asi a Mama..hay que hablarle bien. (Palito, we don't talk to mom like that, we have to speak nicely)
Gerardito (with obedience): Si, Wuchis.
Enriquito (furthering his lesson): Tambien hay que aprender a compartir, porque siempre es bueno compartir. ( Also, we must learn to share, because it is always good to share)
Gerardito (with more obedience): Si, Wuchis.
Enriquito(feeling the need to ensure that the lesson had been learned): OK, Palito????
Gerardito (with steadfast and unheard of obedience): OK, Wuchis!
Really, I should leave this raising kids stuff to Enriquito because he seems to know just what to say.....maybe I should ask him for a few pointers..or ask him where he got those great lines he used on Gerardito... ;)
