A: "Mommy, I hungry."
Me: "Well, we are going to eat soon."
A: "Mommy, I hungry."
Me: "Yes, I know."
A: "MOMMY, I hungry."
A: "Mommy, I HUNGRY.
A: "Mommy, I hungry...for chocolate."
Me: "Oh really?"
A: "Yes mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: "Hmmm, I think we should eat something else."
A: "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate.
Me: "No Atticus."
A: "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: walking away...
A: following me... "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: ignoring.
A: grabbing my leg. "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: disentangling my leg and walking away again.
A: following me..."Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: starting to change Anne's diaper.
A: climbing up my back and sticking his face in mine. "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: handing him the dirty diaper, "Will you put this in the trash baby?"
A: big grin. "Yes mommy." throws diaper away. runs back. "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate."
Me: "Go away Atticus."
A: "Mommy, I hungry for chocolate.
repeat x's 30. Finally he gets distracted by a toy. 10 minutes later he comes up to me.
A: "Mommy, I hungry for...an apple."
repeat x's 45....in the time it takes me to cut up the apple!

Home dude has a one track mind. Once he thinks it, he stays on it...and on it...and on it.

Oh my gosh. So funny. Love the big grin and obedient boy to throw away the diaper in the midst of all of it.

I think you should hold this conversation when he's 20 something and has a wife that nags him! :) What's that they say about karma?

Atticus is adorable!
