Conversations with Finn

1. While stuck in traffic one evening on our way to Baltimore, I had the radio tuned to the station that played Christmas music, and of course, I sang along to all of the songs I knew . . .

Finn: I don't like it when you sing, but I like it when you don't sing!

2. While sharing a stall in the public restroom because I had to go

Finn: Mommy, are you pee-peeing?

Me: Yes

Finn: Can I flush it

Me: When I'm finished

Finn: Are you done?

Me: No

Finn: Are you done, now?

Me: No

Finn: What about now?

Me: Ok, now I'm done.

Finn: Good job mommy! You can have a potty treat.

3. One morning I came downstairs to find Finn standing right next to the Christmas tree. Just standing.

Me: Finn, what's wrong are you okay?

Finn: No, I have a boo-boo and I'm very sad

Me: Oh no! Do you want me to kiss it and then go put a George bandaid on it?

Finn: No, but I think opening just one present will make me feel all better
