toddlers struggle with control issues. its like there’s a huge world out there, and somehow, they cannot make any of it bend to their little cranky whims. hence why “no!” and “get out!” and “stop it!” are currently big faves in jools’ vocabulary.

but sometimes, the control issues get out of hand.

jools and i are driving in our usual insane rush to pick up BC and BS at BC’s elementary school. suddenly, i hear a happy little voice singing:

jools: “whoa, whoa, whoa your boat, gently down the stream…”
jools: …
jools: “GET OUT!”

yep. don’t let the oars whack you on the ass.
