This is her newest stalling tactic: “one more minute!” Let me play one more minute before my nap! Let me stay one more minute before going home! Why would you deny me one minute?

At the same time she’ll hold up two fingers. Which is oddly appropriate because of course she has no concept of time.

This is similar to what he does when he doesn’t want to eat something (which right now is ground chicken or avacado). He purses his lips shut and cries with his mouth closed, which sounds like a pitiful “mmmm, mmmm” while he looks up at me with an expression that says, why? Why would you feed this to me? Why??
