My Precocious Child

The boys and I were watching Cars tonight. Part way through, Drake starts dancing around and won't sit still.

"Drake, do you need to pee?"
"No."

One minute passes. Still lots of moving.

"Drake, are you sure you don't need to pee?"
"I don't need to pee, Mommy."

One minute passes. I finally pause the movie.

"Drake, go into the bathroom and try to pee."
Insert whine here.

This kid peed like a drunken sailor. Wow! As he is finishing up his business, I say the following.

"Wow, that was a lot of pee. Your body was telling you that you needed to pee, but you didn't listen to it. You need to listen to what your body is telling you."

After he finishes washing and drying his hands, he turns to me.

"Mommy, I'm listening to my body. It says I need to finish watching Lightning McQueen."

And so it begins...
