Role reversal

john -- October 16th, 2009

Maia climbed up into her chair for dinner and she’s sitting on her knees and her bum is just wiggling back and forth. Valerie observes this and says, “Maia, I think you need to go potty before dinner”.

M: No I don’t.

V: Yes you do.

And she hoists up Maia from the chair and carries her toward the bathroom, partly at arms length the way you’d carry a dog that had been rolling in the mud, because, you can’t be too sure.

As they round the corner to enter the bathroom, Valerie pauses to open the baby gate and Maia looks over her shoulder at me and smugly states, “I’m just gonna take Mommy to the potty!”
