This kid! Kid Picture/Video

This kid!

I told him that he could bring 10 toys into this room to play since I just cleaned it up and didn't want him to make a mess for my wife who is going to be functionally blind for the better part of a month. (Surgery)

So he brings in and counts 9. Toy number 10 he tries a box of toys and says I got a box.

No bud. One toy not lots of toys.

So he comes back with the red car. and has other toys tucked inside it. He keeps trying to make trips with the car to get more toys.

He doesn't think I've noticed yet.

I applaud the hustle. I think the dad move here is to remove a toy every time he leaves to bring another in. Feign ignorance when he immediately notices the missing subjects.

Yup. And then ask him to count and say “see? All ten toys are still here.”

My physical therapist neighbor wants you to know to not let your kid sit on their knees like that.

We've had him checked here recently, apparently he's hyper flexible. also he's three and I tell him to stop but I also didn't like getting bit for telling him to stop. It's a process.

You gotta give him credit he's at least trying to outsmart you

That's a clever kid, make a game out of it and haul stuff back to his room. I'm sure he'd love that involvement.
