I gave my 2 year old a slice of meat deluxe pizza, with onions, olives and mushrooms. He ate a ton of it, but realized part way through that he didn't like the mushrooms, so he spit one out on the floor.I advised him: "Son, if you don't like something, please spit it out on your plate, not on the floor, ok?""Ok daddy" he says, and gets down on the floor to pick up the mushroom he'd spit. I was impressed he'd made the leap of judgement and was cleaning up after himself.But then he put the floor mushroom back in his mouth, climbed back up in his chair, and spit the mushroom out on his plate. He then proceeded to pick all the mushrooms off his slice, shove them in his mouth, and dribble them all out on his plate.As soon as I recovered from the stomach-cramping laughter, I told him he could just pick the mushrooms off, he didn't have to spit them ALL out onto his plate.Two year olds are very literal, apparently, just like the Amelia Bedila books. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OKolsn
