Mr. Sassypants

Yesterday morning when Declan was getting dressed he put on his "Karate" pants. They are fuzzy jogging pants with a stripe down the side of each leg. He calls them his Karate pants followed by two little leg kicks. So yesterday as this occurred I asked him "where did you learn about Karate?"

He lost his smile, got this serious look on his face and said "we're not talking about that Mommy."

"I just want to know how you know what Karate it."

Sternly "I said we're not talking about it."

"Declan, you're not in trouble or anything. I just want to know. Was it from a book, from cartoons, from where."

"I SAID WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!"

"Well then I guess we're not talking then."

So in silence he finished getting dressed, cleaned up a few things, then I moved him stool over to the sick and said "ok let's get your teeth brushed." 

To which he replied "So we're talking now?"

I fear for the teenage years because this is four.
