Turns out, while my Mother never wished one on me like myself, all the times I thought a mini-me would be pretty sweet I forgot about my extremely strong will and stubborn nature.
Isaac's a little too old for the standard redirect, but the other day when trying to dress him in an outfit that didn't feature any primary colors, I shared something with him: I was wearing Daddy's sweatshirt.
He was enthralled.
I told him he couldn't tell Daddy though.
We went downstairs and what do you think he tried to do?
Isaac: "Daddy! Daddy! I need to tell you sumthin!"
Tony: "What's that bud?"
Isaac: "Daddy! Mama's---[abruptly cut off by my hand over his mouth]
Me: "Isaac! No! You can't tell Daddy [through fits of laughter]
Isaac: "Daddymama'swea---" [peals of laughter]
Me: "No you can't!" as I tickled him.
Isaac: [Gasping] "Mama'swearingyour----" [laughter]
Me: "Isaac NOOOO!" tickling him some more!
Isaac: "DADDDDDDDY mamaswearingyoursweatshirt! [laughter]
Me: "ISAAAAC you told him!
Tony: "I have no idea what he said."
Isaac: [laughing] "Mamaswearingyour-----" [laughter]
Me: [tickling]
Isaac: [laughing]
Me: "Okay, you can tell him."
Isaac: "Daddy! Mama's wearing your sweatshirt!"
What I didn't anticipate was Tony encouraging Isaac's help in tickling me then!
Oh, what silly fun.
