Remember last week when Nathaniel votes at school for the best pet? Please keep that in mind as you read our coversation.
N: Mommy, can I have a kitty cat?
Me: no honey, they make mommy sick. I can't breathe by kitty cats.
N: But you ate one!
Me: No honey, I did not. I'm sorry we can't have one.
N: (throwing himself down on the ground in a tantrum) But you ATE one.
Me: Honey, no I didn't. Come here so we can talk. We can't have kitty cats because mommy will get very sick. We also don't eat cats.
N: But you ate it on Halloween! And I want one.
Me: (Laughing) Do you mean a Kit Kat?
N: Yes, in the red wrapper!
Me: Yes, you can have one honey. I thought you mean a pet cat.
N: Don't be silly mommy, You don't eat cats.
God, I love that kid!
