3-year old undergoes brutal interrogation
Stands his ground.
No ma'am, I absolutely did not eat those sprinkles. Here is a cute thing. He's going to make a great presidential candidate one day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=3EVzoolYugA

I love the way he was holding his hands behind him, shielding his bottom, when she told him he had sprinkles on his face but still denying it all!

"No, I did not." Well, that seems pretty clear. Actually, I'm impressed at how well he speaks.

This kid is a veteran of the sprinkles wars.
He's undergone interrogation before. He has courage under fire. He has guts. He'll also probably get a lot of cavities, but hey, they're just baby teeth. He'll get new ones.

There's our future president.
What a cutie. What a low-down lying cutie-pie.

I kind of thought the same thing! No big words or complex sentences, but very good pronunciation for a 3 year old!

I loved how he was trying to get the upper hand in the arguement with a technicality. This is the funniest thing I have seen all day. It reminds me of when my aunt was little and she painted her name on the coffee table with nail polish. My grandmother asked, "Did you paint your name on the table?" She insisted it must have been someone else who painted her name on the table, but she had no idea who.

I wonder what the best way for the mom to handle this is. Maybe she could show him it's okay to tell the truth while at the same time letting him know sprinkles is a no no. Her accusatory tone probably made him just dig in deeper. Then, she was probably going for a youtube moment, dramatizing things a little. I'm glad I don't have to wrestle with these kinds of parenting dilemmas.

Reminds me of something from Seinfeld.

Explain to me who took the bottles of sprinkles out of their basket, lined them up at reachable level on the counter and dragged out the camera. Oh, you-tube. *sigh* I remember when cute was a moment of serendipity - with a sibling-abuse-case waiting in the wings...

Won't be so cute when he's fourteen years old and lying to the police about the hash they just found in 'his' car......

It sounds like open and shut entrapment to me.

My classroom full of four years olds is like 17 pathological liars. "Eva did you pee on your chair?" "No, I spilled water" or "Melissa peed on my chair." And they often don't need prompting, they'll just approach you and tell you a story that is entirely made up. Like "yesterday I went to a baseball game and ate pizza" but yesterday they were in class all day. Anyway, you won't often get them to admit the truth, and it's not necessary. Even if he doesn't admit it here, he''s learned that even when he says no, people can sometimes tell he did something and he'll get in more trouble if he lies. That's the point of how she's speaking to him.

Hmm.... do you think? *strokes chin*
I'm on the kid's side, regardless.

Oh, you cynics. Does it occur to anyone that she might just be a bad housekeeper? Maybe she was baking and left the sprinkles out either after or in anticipation of cookie decorating. Maybe the family had recently enjoyed ice cream sundaes and she just hadn't put the sprinkles away yet. There are any number of legitimate reasons for the sprinkles to be out, and if the red ones are his favorites, well, he'd probably notice them there... calling to him...

I'm on the kid's side. Assuming your theory that the mother is just a lousy housekeeper - yes, yes she is: and I think she's wiped the little boy's face down without noticing that that is the same cloth she used when she spilled the sprinkles. And now he's got sprinkles all over his poor little face, and she's jumped to a Wrongful Conclusion. Poor little lambchop. No wonder he's backing slowly away... (Just in case...)

Did she brush his teeth with the same toothbrush she used to scrape sprinkles out of the kitchen tile grout, too?

I think if you asked him, he'd say they weren't sprinkles. They were just some things he was thinking about that went into his mouth on their own. And he was saving them up to think about them later. What? Suddenly AW hates kids? This is breaking my heart...
