Big Bad Wolf

Me: “Go back to bed”

LMT, age 3: “The big bad wolf will get me.”

Me: “There is no such thing as the Big Bad Wolf. It’s just in stories. Go back to bed.”

LMT: “Yes there is.”

Me: “OK, look. Your daddy is bigger and badder than the big bad wolf, and I told him to stay away from our house.”

LMT: (long pause) “OK. I will throw sticks at him if I see him. Good night.” (pads off to bed)

Bad Dragons

The Wonderful Wife: “OK kids, now remember… as a rule, children should not correct adults. Unless it’s something very important.”

Danger Monkey: “Like if a dragon is behind you.”

Little Miss Thing: “Only if it’s a bad dragon. Good dragons don’t bite people.”
