Manners manipulator



Several months ago I began really working with Landon on using his manners. He's done well, with only a few bobbles here and there. However, I'm getting the feeling that, at times, I'm being used.

This morning while he was eating his waffles:

Landon (asking carefully so as to get every word correctly): "May...I...have...chocolate...milk...please!"

Mom (obviously not in my right mind): "Why, yes you can! I'll give sweet boys anything they want when they ask so nicely!"

Landon (smiling devilishly): "May...I...have...chocolate...chip...COOKIES...please!"

Mom (staring at him for a second, amazed at his attempted ingenuity): "Um, NO! But nice try."

He began laughing hysterically.

I swear some days he is way smarter than me.
