This Is Why They Call It The Terrible Twos

On By LynnIn LJ Import

Here is a typical conversation with Captain Jelly Belly that had a few minutes ago.

Sirmonkeypants: Captain, I’m going outside to water the grass, do you want to come?
Captain: No.
Sirmonkeypants: Okay, then, stay inside with Mommy and I will be back in a few minutes.
Captain: Noooooooo!!!!!!
Sirmoneypants: Do you want to come outside?
Captain: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Sirmonkeypants: Captain, please don’t shout. You can come outside or stay inside, whichever you like. Do you want to play trains with Mommy?
Captain: Noooo!
Sirmonkeypants: Do you want to come outside?
Captain: Noooo!
Sirmonkeypants: How about we put your shoes on then, and you come outside with me?
Captain: Okay.

    … the problem was the shoes.

    In my more cynical moments I think that too much of life is like this: something won’t work because of some tiny random detail that is missing, and that gives no clue to its absence.

    Or maybe it’s just computers that usually work that way…
