Entry FeedSometimes I get into these discussions with my daughter that I just won't win. Really, when you argue with a three year-old, remember that you are arguing with a three year-old.
This morning I was trying to open my eyes. Daughter came running to me:
Daughter: I need to go pee! BADLY!
Me: Mumble, mumble, I think you are wearing a diaper. (Note: Normally Daughter sleeps in underwear, but last night she chose a diaper.)
Daughter: I want to pee in the potty NOW!
I take her to the potty, and pull off her diaper. It is soaked. I sit her on the potty.
Daughter: Why is my diaper wet?
Me: You must have peed last night.
Daughter: No I didn't. I didn't pee last night.
Me: Well, how do you think your diaper got wet?
Daughter: You got it wet!
Me: I put a dry diaper on you last night.
Daughter: No you not! You put a wet diaper on me last night. I didn't pee!
Me: Honey, the diaper was dry when I put it on you. (Why am I arguing with a three year-old about pee at 7 am?)
Daughter: You put me in a yucky wet diaper! I DIDN'T PEE!
Me: OK. My mistake. I am sorry.
As much as I hate buying diapers for a girl who should really be using the potty all of the time, I swear that I have never reused diapers. It drives me more than a little crazy to throw out diapers in the morning that were worn, but dry, all night. But reusing wet diapers? I once had this other mom at the wading pool at the park recommend that we re-use the swim diapers by drying them out. I was a little grossed out.
