Kayden: Mommy, can you put my helmet on so I can ride my scooter?

Me: I’m working on dinner, Mommy can’t go outside to watch you ride your scooter.

Kayden: Mommy, can you put my helmet on so I can ride my scooter?

My child is PERSISTENT!!

Me: Mommy, is working on dinner, I can’t go outside right now!!!!!!!

I’m persistent too!

Me: Hey, why don’t you bring your scooter inside and ride it in the house?!

**Enter Scotty**

Scotty: Are you really telling her to bring the scooter IN the house?!

Me: Yes, Kayden can bring the scooter IN the house. Kloey, on the other hand, will NEVER be allowed to ride the scooter in the house!!

Kayden rode her scooter in and out of the family room and up and down the hallways for about 5 minutes before she became bored. Kloey, on the other hand, tipped the scooter over, examined the wheels, handle bars, and other parts for about 30 minutes while Mommy finished making dinner!! Kloey, my dear, will NEVER be allowed to ride things in the house. She has already nearly committed baby suicide by heading for the only two stairs in the house REPEATEDLY and the two big stairs on the patio REPEATEDLY. This child thinks it’s funny to find danger and test her Mommy daily!! Kloey, I will always win! Please STOP testing me! I know all of my fellow mommies are happy that I am FINALLY dealing with the challenges of a persistent, inquisitive baby!!! P.S. I still want her to walk!!!!!!!
