Can I have an orange?
This morning when I came home from work and Andrew was getting ready to leave with the kids to take Skylar for a visit Chance asked me if he could have an organge. I figured why not he had a few minutes before he was going to get loaded and it was just a small tangerine. So I started peeling it when he pipes in "Daddy said no orange". So I stop and ask him if he asked Daddy for an orange, he said yes, I asked him if daddy said no, and he said yes. So I went and found Andrew to confirm that he said no to an orange - which he did (why I have no idea as he had plenty of time). So I had to come back and explain to Chance that when mommy or daddy says no to something - that doesn't mean he can ask the other one. That since he did that, he was not allowed to have the orange and he needed to obey Daddy.

Little does he know - if he would have kept quiet about it he would have had the orange. I already had it peeled, I was breaking it up to give it to him, and he would have been LONG done his orange before Daddy came to get him to load up in the car. but I am sure that is a trick he'll learn soon enough. All kids play thier parents against each other, he just needs to learn not to tell the parent being played that the other one already said No.. LOL
