Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

The First Answer Is Always No

No matter what we say
The first automatic answer is NO!
But then upon thinking the two-year-old sometimes changes
The emphatic NO into a yes.
My husband and I used to laugh about this
Until he pointed out that I do the same thing.
Now it is not so very funny.

Kim Rodrigues December 6, 2019 at 8:36 PM LOL! Perhaps not. Caren Krutsinger December 17, 2019 at 11:05 AM No, not, no, never. I have to practice these words.

Maurice Rigoler December 6, 2019 at 10:54 AM Haha! Another good one, Caren. Remember, kids are expert impersonators of their parents. Watch what you say and do if you don't want to your behavior in them! / M Caren Krutsinger December 17, 2019 at 11:04 AM Too late. My children are already ruined. So much like their mama!
