I have no idea where this came from or how it started. However, we’ve come to realize that when I say no to something you are doing, want to do or thinking about doing, you immediately reply “No singing.” At one point it was “Mommy’s sorry for singing” and then just morphed into an automatic “no singing” reply:
You: “Take the bike on the stairs. Take the bike on the stairs.”
Me: “Asher, we’re not going to take our bike on the stairs.”
You: “No singing.”
You: “Please help me take the lid off. Please help Asher take the lid off.”
Me: “Asher, we leave the lid on the toothpaste.”
You: “No singing.”
Okay, so I’ll admit it. Obviously, this just drives home the idea that my singing simply is a form of punishment. Sometimes you just need a two year old to deliver the bitter truth!
