His genes, and following his lead. None of my genes WHATSOEVER!

They are NEVER fun. Interesting in the "aura" stage, however. And as for cheeky kids--I have four of them and well, they just get better at it and more challenged with how to verbally sink the Mom. (My four have somehow survived into their twenties and thirties.) They were all precocious! Scarily precocious! My oldest began talking at six months. She'd pronounce 'bottle' with distinct "tees" not like her Mom who pronounced the word as if it had "dees" in the middle. (She's the one with an English degree. She never lets me off the hook.) She began at 10 months drawing conclusions and sharing them with me. Talk about one scared, defensless Mother! Then #2 daughter came along, 14 months later. Now she's the parent of 3 VERY precocious children. We all have to stop and remember that when her 2 yo son starts pitching fits and acting like a 2 yo he really IS 2. He converses/understands things far beyond the norm for 2! For instance, about 7 months ago he and his Dad were doing something together in the garage. This guy is all about helping and being included in all activities. He Dad said, "Come on, Son. Let's go in to eat." Son's reply, "Wait a minute. I have to put my equipment up." Dad said to Mom, "Where did he learn to call his (play) tools equipment?"<BR/><BR/>This child won't be 3 until May this year! And, of course, on top of everything else, these 3 grandchildren are not only precocious, they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I'm their grandma. My other two children, bless their little hearts, are in their 20's. Son . . . another of those precocious, cheeky kids. Loves to try to get me whenever he sees an opening. I simply refuse to get drawn into his philosophical debates when he gets on a roll! I'm no match when it comes to debating. Never have been. Never will be. I drop the ball openly and rue the day I learned I wasn't nearly so smart as my offspring!<BR/><BR/>Love your stories. Thanks for being verbose, as your sister, BB, explained! Kiss your babies for me. I love little cheeky kids!

LOL!<BR/>Sorry, I know it's not funny when you have a migraine (or even when you don't) and it's your own child being cheeky. <BR/>Loved your boarding school story. I can so imagine the- is that the worst you've got?- attitude!<BR/>Hope you achieve peace soon :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960199428417526306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37871177.post-9873629499050434502008-03-28T19:40:00.000+10:002008-03-28T19:40:00.000+10:00I think I could handle some cheeky.
