I actually thought to myself when I was making up this Top 10 list, "Maggie is going to LOVE #5!" :) As for what I think he meant by it, or what the connection with the chocolate was... I can only guess! The truth is that often these days K & O say things that really don't have much meaning- they just blurt stuff out and tie things together that are truly not connected in any way. It is a 3 year old non-logic. But, if I had to take a stab at this one, this would be my best guess: He saw the chocolate and started to take one (they still don't fully comprehend the concepts related to purchasing things, material possession, etc.-- I will post about that someday soon). I told him he couldn't take it. He asked why. I told him "because we are not buying it; we don't need it." And that's when he immediately launched into the "But I am a person!" quote. The connection seems to be that he might have thought that the items in the store were mainly for adults (we were in a craft store- Michaels- buying things for ME not for THEM); so therefore he assumed that the chocolates were for adults, and was pushing the envelope by trying to take one in the first place (K & O really like fine chocolates-- like truffles and expensive fancy hand-made chocolates like that-- chocolates that most children are never exposed to, let alone accustomed to eating, so they are aware that other kids don't seem to eat these things like they do; he may have even recognized the Ghirardelli wrapper! LOL!!!!). He probably expected me to tell him that he couldn't have the chocolate because it was "for grown ups, not kids" (which is our explanation for why they can't have whole bottles of beer or full glasses of wine or large cups of soda, etc.!). However, in this case, I didn't argue with him that he couldn't have it for being a kid- I simply argued that we "didn't need it." His reaction was to just come right back at me with quote #5. What do *YOU* think he meant by it?! I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!!! ;)<BR/>HBJHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046870363509253257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-29577867946460480612007-11-29T00:20:00.000-05:002007-11-29T00:20:00.000-05:00"But I am a person!

I am a PERSON!!!" -Owen, when I wouldn't buy him a Ghirardelli chocolate in the check-out line at a store.<BR/><BR/>This is SO interesting, don't you think??? What did he mean about being a "person" and how did that connect to his desire to get chocolate? I LOVE these quotes!!!!!<BR/>xoxo<BR/>MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-59468898892669656692007-11-27T00:54:00.000-05:002007-11-27T00:54:00.000-05:00Tell Owen I am just a wreck with him ... cute!tara...Tell Owen I am just a wreck with him ... <BR/><BR/>cute!<BR/><BR/>taraT and T Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612227041383997608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-35411871503292123442007-11-26T19:27:00.000-05:002007-11-26T19:27:00.000-05:00They're really fascinated with growing up and gett...They're really fascinated with growing up and getting big, eh? :)Mamato2https://www.blogger.com/profile/06806107872956157971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35860543.post-5019388349139369502007-11-26T16:54:00.000-05:002007-11-26T16:54:00.000-05:00I love posts like this.
