20, 20, 20, 20 minutes to go

  • Oct. 26th, 2007 at 4:29 PM

The other day, the bug and I were in the car and he was playing DJ.  Every few minutes he'd shout out a song request, and like the good Mommy I am, I completely ignored the traffic rules, and scrolled through my iPod to find the requested tune.  About halfway through the drive he says:

The Bug: Mommy, I want the 20 minute song
Me:  (not having a clue what he's talking about) The 20 minute song? Do you mean "If I had a million dollars" *
TB: (whining) No Mommy, the 20 minute song
Me: Baby, Mommy doesn't know that one, can you sing a little bit of it for me?
TB: Umm, 20, 20, 20, 20 minutes to go, I wanna be sedated**
Me: OHHH, You want  "I want to be sedated".
TB; Yes Mommy, I want to be sedated.

Honestly, my kid is way cooler at 2 then I ever was.  First off, his lyric recall is amazing, and at 2.5, his conversation skills floor me.  I'm not fluffing out the sentence structure for sake of readability, that is exactly how the conversation went.

And now, everytime he wants that song, he says: Mommy, I wanna be sedated

*I realize this is a stretch, but it had numbers in it, and it is one of his favorites
** He got the words wrong, but he NAILED the tune

I so know what you mean. I have a just turned 3 year old, but she doesn't want to be sedated! What a trick CP is - oh, BTW, your mum sent me over to have a read of this post. I'm glad she did. It made me smile!!

Thanks Melody. Trust me when I tell you, The Bug loves the song, but the actual act of being sedated is something he appears to be against in principle :-)
