To wonder if it's mean to con my two year old like this?

[ZombiesAteMyCunnyFunt]

DD is 2.3yo, she just asked me for a 'gits' (biscuit) so I gave her one and she looked at me and said 'Two gits glease mummy.' So I took the biscuit off her, snapped it in half and gave it back. She was delighted and ran off squealing 'Two gits! Two gits!'.

Is it so terrible to con her like that? She was so happy with her two gits :o

A little girl at the playgroup where I work asked for a mended biscuit when I gave her two halves!! Good for you if you can get away with it and better for your DD

I used to point to imaginary trains in an excited manner so when ds's head was turned to look I would nick a chip from his plate. it worked until dh did it too often and D's soon wised up.

D's can't wait to use this trick on his little sister when she,s old enough

YANBU, you are smart and she sounds adorable.

Aww, she sounds adorable. :o

She'll wise up soon enough - my ds2 (age 3) would refuse to it it on the grounds it was broken.

That used to work for me with my nearly 2 year old but now the clever little monkey insists on a 'closed bibbit'. As opposed to an 'open' (broken) one!

Cadlecap, you are so right! I broke 2 yesterday by accident after taking the skin off. DS, would not entertain the idea!

Lol @ "gits"!

Another one here whose 2 yo will not entertain the idea of broken things and insists they're stuck back together

You meanie!, bless her!.

DD actually tried to force a biscuit back together a few months ago and was nearly hysterical when it completely crumbled under the brute force.
She has however not twigged apple 'cwips' aren't the same as the naughty ones Grandpa keeps buying her

ah my dd is the same if she breaks her 'nahna'

"nother nahna pease mommy!"

she's 2.3

I took ds on a caravan holiday when he was 3. I gave him a pound for the change machine in the arcades and when all the change came out exclaimed excitedly 'you've won'. He could hardly contain himself.

Sleepy that is ridiculously cute.

DD believes that the ride ons in soft play only work on your birthday, that yogurt covered raisins are sweets and we have a cake stealing grufallo living in daddy's work room.

Lying to kids sharpens the brain as it recovers from baby brain, its a biological necessity :)

Yep, I got away with raisins and grapes being'sweets' for aaages!

You have to lie to your kids!!

Aww their innocence is so sweet. Ds has always been a sceptical fellow and doesn't believe anything I say! He won't eat a biscuit that has even a tiny chip out of it!

When my eldest, now 21, was a toddler, he believed that when he was tired the word 'tired' appeared on his forehead in magic letters that only Mummy could see

aww its lovely :)

i have done various other similar things but my dd is 2.8 and has a right strop if i try and give her a broken biscuit. the other day i gave her a two finger kit kat but snapped it so it was two seperate fingers....omg the tantrum.that ensued, she yhrew the kit kat across the room.

One time DD1 was being a nightmare about going to bed. After the third visit downstairs I said I would be furious if she got out of bed again.

I was in the kitchen (beneath her bedroom) and heard the squeaky floor board as she quietly climbed out of bed. I rushed upstairs and along the landing, standing next to the bend waiting or her to turn the corner. I then told her I had a spy camera installed in her bedroom and had seen her get out of bed.

She still believes this and recently warned DD2 that mummy has spy cameras upstairs so she knows what we are doing!

Ohh Tequila that's a great idea, I might pinch that!
