Example #1 We were at the grocery store today. I turn around and Colm is eating a cookie. I asked him where he got the cookie and he informs me that he “found” it. When I asked him where he found it he pointed to the grocery store shelf. Deep breath while extracting the possibly tainted cookie from his little grasp. (The cookie had just been out in the open sitting on the grocery store shelf for goodness knows how long and where it had been before it was on the shelf is anybody’s guess.)
Example #2 Liam is not capable of talking and doing anything else at the same time. I was in his room while he was supposed to be getting ready for bed tonight, but he just had too much he wanted to tell me and he was making zero progress in the getting ready for bed department. So, I told him I was going to leave and while I was gone he was to brush his teeth. I left for about ten minutes, came back, and asked him if he’d brushed his teeth. He looked puzzled and then informed me that he had not brushed his teeth in the ten minutes that I had been gone.
See what I mean??? It is truly a miracle that I have any hair left on my head.
