The explicit requests of a two-year-old
So, one of the commercials that absolutely crack me up is the car commercial where the people are making requests similar to those you would to get your mp3 car player to play such as "Play artist Seal". I absolutely love the part where the woman says "open door" and proceeds to walk into it spilling her coffee. Anyway, a couple days ago I had an armload full of family stuff and trying to use humor to hint to my husband that I needed him to open the door I said "Open Door" about 4 times. When he still didn't get the hint I looked at my 2-year-old and said, "wouldn't it be nice if Daddy would open the door for Mommy?" Of course I was making a request. Yesterday, we were walking up to the back door, my daughter had her favorite rabbit in one hand and her backpack in the other. She looked at her rabbit and said "wouldn't it be nice if mommy would open the door for Emma?" This is the way my two-year-old's brain works. Just a few days ago she got really upset with me for not listening and said, "some people never listen" to get my attention. She has certainly opened my eyes to my passive aggressive requests.
