The Same Reason He Doesn’t Chew Gum
Some concepts are just lost on 4 year olds…
Engineer, Spider and I all have some kind of nasty throat attacking virus. It was indicated on the back of the package of throat loszenges that the product was for adults and children ages 3 and up. So I gave one to Engineer.
Me: Okay, you just suck on them. You don’t chew.
E: (Crunch)
Me: No, that’s Chewing. You just suck on it.
E: (pulls it out and starts licking the throat drop)
Me: NO, you can put it in your mouth. You just don’t chew. Just suck.
E: (Puts it back in his mouth)
Me: Okay.
E: (Crunch)
Me: NO, that’s chewing again.
E: (Crunch. Crunch, crunch, crunchity, crunch. Lots of mad crunching)
Me: Whatever.
E: (laughing)
I find that most concepts are lost on 4-year-olds. I wouldn’t even attempt that one. Feel better soon.
