If You Want To...

Jessie and I recently had a conversation with Theia about not telling her parents to do things for her, but rather asking us to do them for her, preferably including the word "please" somewhere along the lines. Now, when she wants something from us, she informs that we may do such and such, if we want to. This must seem excessively polite to her two year old mind, giving us a choice and all. Jessie and I were sitting on the couch the other evening when we heard Theia's polite voice call from the bathroom, "Daddy, I just went potty! You can come wipe my bottom, if you want to!" How magnanimous.
