The Boy Who Cried Wolf

So Seamus is about 2 ½ now and is super funny and entertaining. His vocabulary seems to explode, but not only that he's extremely dramatic, like he's trying out for a movie.  He'll pretend to sulk or mope and seconds later he'll laugh at himself or break into a rendition of the "Imagination Movers" theme song complete with air guitar and genuflection as seen in the skit.

He also comes up with the craziest reasons for anything he needs to explain.  He hasn't gone through the "why" stage yet.  Instead it is the "because..." like a big run-on sentence. (I don't know where he could have gotten that from.)
 Lately, he has resorted to using the following rationale for almost every response to any question:


"...Because the wolves are coming to bite [or get] you"

At first we were a little concerned that he may be plagued by traumatic nightmares where he’s being chased by wolves, but I can assure you that he is not in the slightest bit scared or fearful. This is more of a matter of fact. I've provided a paraphrased example conversation below:
• "Seamus, do you want to try to put your socks on this morning?”
• “No… I no put my socks on!”
• “Why not?”
• “Because the wolves are coming to bite you.”
• “Aha”
• “Yeah, and I’m going to punch the wolf on the nose.”
• “Okay, why is the wolf going to bite me.”
• “Because he’s sad.”
• “I see.”

Or something like that. And then we move onto the typical back and forth conflict about trying to get him to brush his teeth.

Conversations with a 2 year old are priceless.
