Just saw this on TPF and had such a good laugh that i had to share it with you guys. Not sure if it's more appropriate to post here or on the Parenting Board: Original Post: http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga/a-five-year-olds-logic-480511.html So my brother bought this really annoying toy for my daughter. The toy is called the alphabet pal and is basically a green caterpillar with green, blue, and red feet.
I was playing with my daughter and my 5 year old nephew, trying to catch my daughter's attention and get her to play with her green alphabet pal, when my nephew says:
- you know auntie, that toy also comes in pink.
- oh! that's nice.
- you should get her the pink one too.
- why would she need the pink one? she has this one.
- but this one is green!
- what's the difference? pink or green, they are both the same exact thing!
- no, they are not, this is green not pink, she needs a pink one too!
I was going to go on and explain to him that they are both the same but then I was like: WAIT A SECOND!
so after a long pause, I looked around to make sure my husband hadn't heard our conversation and told my nephew: OK, I'll get her a pink one.
So, if you still don't know why I posted this story here and not under parenting and etc., here is an example of why:
