My little boy, he comes up with some pretty genius ideas. He just turned four and recently began playing this puppy game with his 5-year-old sister. Basically, he acts like a puppy and she tells him what to do.
It is not my favorite game but he is always the one initiating it, so I guess it's fun for him.
She will feed him dry cereal out of a bowl and he eats it like a puppy or she will tell him to go get her something, sit, bark.. things like that. so obviously as a mother, this game is painful to watch but he likes it, so who am I to say, right?
Then I began noticing that when he wants to do things that will bother other people or things he isn't supposed to do, he claims he is a puppy. He thinks if he's a puppy he can do what he wants and it's all good. For instance, he takes his baby sisters toy, before I even have a chance to say anything he says; "I'm a puppy!" or he gets junk food out of the cabinet that he wasn't supposed to have; "I'm a puppy!" His Dad calls on the phone to talk to him and he will just keep barking on the phone. His Dad will be like "Hey buddy how was your day?" and he will just reply "Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!" Over and over.
The more I think about it the greater this is. If you don't want to talk to someone just bark at them. If you need to take something from someone, just because you want it, act like a dog. Who is going to tell you no? They will just think your insane and most likely go with it. Can you imagine hanging out with some friends and you would like to use their new kitchen gadget, so you bark at them, take it and pant like a dog. Bet the friend stares at you in silence wondering "Wtf?" Or if someone you don't feel like talking to calls you, just bark at them. Genius. This shit should work. People will leave you the fuck alone.
