The wisdom of a 4 year old
Posted under Witterings
Diggy, whining: “I’m cold, brrrr….I’m cold mummy…I’m freeeeeeeezing!”
Me: “Don’t be silly, it’s not cold”
Diggy, crossly: “I am Mummy I am! Are you ME?”
Me, bashful: “Well, no…I’m not you”
Diggy, triumphant: “Well then you can’t know if I’m cold or not. I am me. And you are not in charge of me. I am in charge of myself. Everyone is in charge of their own selves.”
Exit Spud, followed by a Wise Man.
4 year olds can be very clever!
Oh my! You can’t argue with logic can you?
Indeed…they are smart as smart things. I was quite lost for words, most unusual…!
Wise little boy, but I’m pretty sure it’s something that gets mentioned in your house ;-) and he’s picked up on it, clever little angel.

It’s fab isn’t it? Had the same conversation with Millie once, but hers was about hunger!
What a lovely photo. Very envious of your skills!
And yes, he’s a wise ol’ soul!
I think that Diggy must have a very trusting relationship with his mummy to be able to speak so truthfully to her…to know that he would be heard and respected….
what gorgeous eye(s) was the first thing I noticed. Yes everything is literal at the age, but make you laugh
Daisy…ha, these littlies are so smart sometimes, grrr. x
