Toddlers talk.....a lot.

This was my conversation with Chloe just moments ago.

Chloe, after finishing her pez: Can I have more pez, mom?

Me: Maybe in a little bit.

Chloe, while literally spinning around in circles: Can I have more pez when you're done with your iPod, mom?

Me: Yes.

Chloe, still spinning in circles: I can have more pez?

Me: Yes, but you need to wait a little bit.

Chloe, still spinning: Can I have more pez when you're done with your iPod?

Me: Ye–

Chloe, still spinning: Mommy, when you're done with your iPod, I can have more pez, mom?

Me: Yes, Chloe.

Chloe, STILL spinning: When you're done with your—whoa! (falls over) Can I have more pez, mom?

Me: Yes! (I turn on Caillou)

Chloe: (silence)

Caillou ends while I type what's above.

Chloe: Can I have more pez? Please, mommy, can I have more pez? Please get me some more pez. Puh-leez, please can I have pez?

Me: Chloe! (Chloe: Can I–) Stop asking me for pez. (Chloe: But–) I'm not going to get you pez if you keep asking me. I will get you pez when it's time for you to have pez.

Chloe, in a hushed voice: I want purple pez.

Kris Savage, next time you buy her pez, you'll be the one to deal with the end results.
