Flashback Friday: Age 3 Architect
Me: Want to build a castle, Abby?
Abby: Yes!! Let’s build it WAY tall like this! (Arms sweeping from the ground to the sky so wildly it throws her off balance. Clearly this shit’s going to be tall)
I have an apple in one hand as the other hand starts forming the foundation to this monstrosity she’s so dramatically demonstrating.
Me: Let’s put these bottom blocks like this.
Abby: Not like that. Give me these. Like this.
Me: OK, then how about these across here like this?
Abby: No. No not like that. Give me these.
Me: Ok, you’re running the show, boss.
...
Abby: Mom! Help me build this castle!
Me: I am helping.
Abby: No you’re not; you’re just watching me build it! Give me these.
To teach her that she is being unreasonable. I knock it over
Abby: <Blank stare> She slaps the apple out of my hand
We had an understanding.
