While I used to think I was clever just agreeing with her (“yes, it’s a green bean, and it’s green”), it is apparently my duty to observe said item, give full attention and eye contact, and repeat the item, colour, and a full acknowledgmen of both, along with any other important details. It is very, very weird.

My 7 year old is like this. "Look." "LOOK!!!" I am looking. "LOOOOOOOK"

Is everything okay with your food?!” He does this daily.
Oh this is classic. Tell your DS that a stranger says thank you for making her laugh out loud at 6:27 am 😁
