Toddlers' Creed
Toddlers' Creed


If I want it - it's mine.
If I give it to you, and change my mind later - it's mine.
If I can take it away from you - it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago - it's mine.
If it's mine - it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what.
If we are building something together - all pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine - it's mine.



Thought I'd share these words of toddler wisdom with you all (don't ask!)

Reminds me of an incident years ago when my 26yr old son was a toddler.
I took him to a friends place who had a little girl the same age. Her mum brought out a huge can basket full of toys to play with.
Every toy my son picked up Linda the little girl, took off him. He didn't object, just picked another toy. This went on till the basket was empty . Her mother Carol and I watched this, amazed at Jeremy's patience. In the end all the toys were on the floor next to Linda so Jeremy went to the pile and it started all over again until Mum Carol put a stop to it and told Linda she had to share.

Cheers
