The strange wisdom of children.

Child of mine:  Papa, I need to go poo.
Me (preparing supper):  OK, go poo then.
Child of mine (shouting from the bathroom):  I'm done going poo!
Me: OK, you know what to do.
Child of mine:   But I want you to wipe me!
Me:  You can do it.  You need to do it.  That's how you learn!
Child of mine:  But I don't want to learn!
Me:  You want someone else to wipe your bum for the rest of your life?
Child of mine:   Yes!
Me: What?  Really?
Child of mine:   I was just kidding.  I need to kid sometimes otherwise I'll forget how to laugh, right Papa?

Our kids are smarter than we think. It's also good to know that they listen to us and pay attention to our humor :)
