Stop Lanking Me Around!
During the end of Annie’s naps I let Hudson play games on the computer to keep the house quiet. The longer Annie is asleep the better. Hudson usually is resistant to leave the computer so I have to start trying to get him off at least 10 minutes before. Hudson, you have 10 minutes…Hudson, you have 5 minutes…Hudson you have 1 minute. A few days ago, I started shutting him down at the 10 minute mark like usual. I got to 1 minute and told him to log off. He comes out exasperated, flips his hands in the air and says, “Mom, stop lanking me around. I am off the pomputer.” I look at him a little stunned and ask, “I think you mean, stop yanking me around.” He looks at me, shakes his head, lets out a heavy sigh and replies, “No mom, I said lank. I don’t like it when you lank me around. The word is lank.” I’m guessing at one point in time he heard me talking about yanking something or someone around. The memory escapes me at the moment. Unfortunately, he refuses to believe the word is yank. Then again, I hear that most children think they are smarter than their parents. I know I did. Sorry Mom!
I love that we have the same props, as I’m sure everyone else in the ward does. It was fun, thanks for the invite to go, sorry we missed you guys.
