Setting: We were loading the groceries into the car. Lucas had gotten into his seat while I was in the back loading the last few bags.
Lucas: "Can we make the rules?"
Me: "You can help make them since you are part of our family. But Mom and Dad have to right to veto or say no to a rule."
Lucas: "Why?"
Me: "Because we are older and have lived for a longer time and understand some things a little more. Plus, we are responsible for you guys. If something bad happened to you or Alex, we could get in trouble."
Lucas: "So can we make the rules?"
Me: "Yep, you can help us make them."
Lucas: "So we'll make the rules when we get home?"
It was at this point in the conversation when I realized Lucas was saying rolls not rules. He wanted to make the cinnamon rolls we had just purchased.

pretty cute;-) i used to have my class help me make the rules the first day of school. it was hard to keep a straight face with some of the ones they would come up with!
ReplyDeleteI hope the rules were yummy.
ReplyDeleteI love having the kids help make the rules. no burping at the table is one that they came up with and followed to a "T". Unless you say excuse me.
Rules. Hahaha. Too funny. Ryan was looking for his "ra-ca" yesterday. Thanks to Emily, I learned he meant harmonica!
ReplyDeleteThanks so funny! He must've been confused by your answers :)
ReplyDeleteThose are my kind of rules. I think every household needs both kinds of rules frequently. A reminder of what the rules are, and frequent cinnamon rolls to help remind.
ReplyDeleteHow can you follow that! He is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHope he enjoyed making his "rolls"!
So, did you make the rolls? :)
ReplyDeleteYep, he sure is cute!
We made the rolls on Sunday as part of my b-day breakfast.. so he had to wait a few days
ReplyDeleteYummy! I always loved rules with frosting!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite things about little people, when they say/use words incorrectly. Tell him I love rules too!
ReplyDeleteThis cracks me up. I can really picture me or my wife doing what you did. I can just imagine the look of confusion on his face.
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny. He was probably thinking "what in the world is she talking about?"
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love trying to communicate with kids in general. Always an adventure!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I have this problem with my son all the time!! I think he is talking about one thing and then realize I'm mishearing the word. And here he is thinking "My mom is an idiot and obsessed by rules!"
ReplyDeleteI was rolling on the floor when I read ROLLS! Too funny!! I hoe he got to help with the "rules" without Mom & Dad vetoing them ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet! I hope those rules had frosting on them. That's what makes them easier to swallow.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love getting into these whole conversations and then realizing that it's not what they are talking about at all!
ReplyDeleteLOL that is so funny! I'm totally loving his shirt too!! I want a roll. LOL Can't wait for your age to be revealed. Will it be your real age? LOL I'm forever 25.
ReplyDeleteaww! so sweet! What a handsome guy!Stopping by from Tara's
ReplyDeleteHe He! I love it when I get all deep and the kids look at me like I'm from Mars. Your example is perfect and absolutely charming. Hope you had a great birthday weekend!!!
