tick tock...

apparently, telling me i am wasting his time is benny's new morning routine.
because, once again, we were doing our last minute drill before we piled into the car.
i was prepping my coffee and ben was debating what snack to pack for school.
again, he looked at me, "mommy. you. are. wasting. time."
(yes, he has actually learned how to talk in one word sentences. oops.)

i explained to him that mommy making coffee was never wasting time.
and to trust me on that one.
his response?
"okay, mommy. i don't think you are wasting time."
(pause)
"but the clock does."
