Adventures with Literal Baby #5

A sweet cousin of Baby Bee's gave him some of her old books, including a fun book about 10 Little Monkeys Jumping on the bed. Pretty much a guaranteed hit.

Yep, that's right. A hit.

Let me back up.

*During the 3am to 9am awake shift with Mr.Bee*

Babybee:
 "Papa, don't close eyes"

 

Mr.Bee:
 "I won't. I'm awake with you"
 
*a few seconds later*

Babybee:
"Papa don't close eyes!"
 
Mr.Bee:
 "I didn't, little buddy."

Babybee:
"yes. Papa blinked. No more blinking"
 
Mr.Bee:
"uhhhh...."
 
*Babybee proceeds to scream every time Mr.Bee blinks*


Lesson Learned: provide a caveat for autonomic nervous system functioning next time you agree to anything.

Me:
"Wow. Check out this SUNLIGHT!"

Babybee:
"No. Don't like. Turn off."

 Me:

"The sun is a star. No one can turn it on or off."

Babybee:
Yes. Sun. Light. Turn off light.

Me, while giving baby hand wipes after eating:

"Alright now I'm going to take your hand..."

 Babybee, grabbing his hand with the other and pulling back:

"Nooooooo. No take!!"
