Oh, Kids...they attempt to be so convincing.

A few weeks ago I was at Target with Kenan and I let him pick out a box of popsicles. He picked a box of ice age popsicles. The kids were so excited until they bit into them and found a gooey center. Needless to say, the rest of the box went uneaten. Fast forward a couple weeks. I threw the popsicles out, and last night Timmy comes and tells me that he wants to try them again. Apparently he saw a commercial advertising these very popsicles and the gooey part is supposed to be an acorn. So you didn't like them to begin with, but now that there is a gooey "acorn" in them that means you will like them? Hmmmm.....I'm not buying it.

About a week ago, Kenan was sitting on the couch upstairs Jeff. Kenan really wanted to go downstairs and watch cartoons. Jeff said "No Kenan. How about we stay up here and cuddle for a bit?" Kenan, who was very disappointed, said in his most convincing and enticing voice, " well, papa, did you know there is a big soft comfy couch downstairs?" It still didn't work but hey, he tried.

The other day Kenan was at the dining room table playing starwars guys. He uses his imagination which is awesome, and he had his crocodile playing as well. Lucy came up to see what Kenan was doing and Kenan and her conversation went something like this:

Kenan to Lucy: "Lucy do you want to kiss the crocodile?" Lucy just stares at Kenan. Kenan in his best enticing voice, "You'll turn into a princess. If you kiss this crocodile, you'll turn into a beautiful Princess Leia."
