So we put DD down tonight, and she asked for her binky. I told her she had to give me her new Minnie doll (she carries around everywhere) if she wants her binky. She refused. We leave. Now she is yelling "Bug! Bug! There is a bug in my room!" to procrastinate going to sleep. DH just went up on bug removal patrol. Of course, there is no bug. She was happy that daddy came to rescue her. He put her back down, and it is quiet. I just don't understand how they figure this stuff out. I am just giggling over the hilarity.
Re: I can't stop laughing
O's being doing this crap a lot lately. I literally watched him knock over a tower full of CDs yesterday and he had the nerve to say "I didn't do it, sissy did" when I told him to clean it up.
I'm glad to hear it's fairly normal toddler behavior and not because he's genetically inclined to have sociopath tendencies.

That actually makes perfect sense. DD is way into pretend play, and lately is making up her own songs and stories. I can see how they might get confused about what is real vs imaginary, especially when the imagination is such a new thing for them. Hmmm....
