This was sitting in the library parking lot waiting for Aunt Crystal to return a book. He was frustrated that there was a park visible with kids playing and he was not allowed out of the car(we were only returning a book and then heading to the grocery store...and Uncle Joel had the other 5 kids at home= even more reason to hurry).
G: "Want out."
Me: "We will have to come back another day, why don't we sing a song instead(he had been singing by himself the whole way there)."
G: "No."
Me: (optimistic) "What song would you like to sing?"
G: (grumpy) "NO!"
Me: (persistent) "How about 'Twinkle twinkle little star'?"
G: (grumpier) "NO. Want out!"
Me: (determined) *singing*"Twinkle, twinkle little star...."
G: (grumpier-er) "TURN OFF!"
Excuse me? Did you just tell me to turn off? Little punk! A few minutes later he started singing himself...
G: "Winka winka wittle stah..."
Me: joining in, "how I wonder what you are..."
G: "NOOOOO, TURN OFF!"
Why was I excited for him to start talking again?

That is hilarious! It reminds me of when my lil sis, Kelly, was about 4 and she and my mom were waiting in the truck while my dad ran in the store. My mom was trying to entertain her by pointing things out to her. She looked at my mom and said "Let's play a game. Let's see who can be the quietest." LOL
This cracked me up!
cari's was funny too!
kids really do hear EVERYTHING!
Don't you just llloooovveee toddler conversations? And, it sounds to me as if you were at RC Miller Library/Rogers Park. Gabi is tempted everytime we go to the library.
