This little boy won’t stop touching stuff! He’s standing right here next to me at this very moment…pushing every, single button on my printer. Confusing the poor machine into a clicking, flashing, humming mess of plastic and lights. I keep telling him no, as I push his busy hands away with every defiant attempt. Finally, I lose my temper…
“I SAID NO! STOP TOUCHING IT AND GET INTO BED! I TOLD YOU TO STOP!”
His reply?
“And I told YOU to come and cuddle with me!”
I guess he told me!
Goodnight, lol.
