Green is Stupid


Jonathan is quite the problem solver.  He is also quite sassy.  (Can't figure out where that comes from...)

Yesterday I showed him a you tube video of a little kid that was mad at his dad and saying "I don't like you!"  Here is an account of what followed:
J: That little boy is so naughty.  He should not be saying I don't like you to his daddy.
Me: But you say you don't like me almost everyday.
J: No, but I know I still like you.  I will always like you.
Me:  Well, I know you are going to tell me that you don't like me and that's not nice.
J: I would never say that to you!

20 minutes later.....
(Reagan crying)
J: I didn't do anything mom she was just being annoying to me.
Me: Say that you're sorry for hitting your sister.  Right now.
J: I don't like you mom!
Me: I thought you said you were never going to say that to me...
J: I don't remember saying that.

2 hours later.....
(Reagan crying again)
Me: What did you do?  Stop being so mean to your sister.  Go to your room.  Go.  Get on your bed.
(Much crying and stomping of feet)
(A few minutes of silence)
J: Mommy!  Mommy!  I need to tell you something important!
(I go to his room)
Me: What?
J: Green isn't my favorite color anymore.  Green is stupid.  Blue is my new favorite color.  Green is stupid.  Oh, and mommy?  You are green.

WHAT THE WHAT?!

Did he just really reason that whole process out or am I crazy?  I guess I need to keep a closer eye on this little tyrants logic and train of thought!

He's just SMART, that's the "problem." I have a smarty, too, and they can be really interesting to deal with! Never a "normal" conversation, never a "normal" punishment. The logic just... is amazing. Toshia, let me assure you, you are NOT GREEN. Don't let anyone ever tell you differently. :)
