But, to give you some more context, I have to tell you about my church playgroup. So, I wasn’t surprised when on Mothers Day 2021 he uttered a very sweet sentiment that I supposed was aimed at me. He’ll often say beautiful things like, ‘Oh mummy, you look so pretty in that dress,’ or, ‘You’re a very nice mummy for doing that for me.’ My dear son Luke (3-and-a-half) is characteristically sweet. He said, ‘My dad is a Physiotherapist but my mom doesn’t do anything.’ I thought I’d take that one on the chin… Mothers Day My son made a new friend at the playpark and was making conversation. He’s a beautiful little boy!’ My husband and I almost fell off our chairs laughing. Searching for words, he found them with unexpected clarity, saying, ‘Luke’s…Luke’s…Luke’s not a filthy little boy. I frowned at him and said in frustration, ‘You’re a filthy little boy, aren’t you, Luke.’ He looked quite miffed and offended. Later that evening, while we were having dinner together, Luke had covered himself in the contents of dinner and he looked quite messy. When looking into Luke’s eyes lovingly during the afternoon I said to him, ‘You’re a beautiful little boy, aren’t you.’ He agreed quite readily. We almost fell over backwards laughing! – Rebecca Devitt When I asked how much it cost, he replied, ‘Too many dollars.’ He was quite serious. I often say, ‘No.’ When he asks why, I say, ‘Because it costs too many dollars.’ One day my son was playing shops. When we go to the shops, my two-year-old son often asks for toys. Instead, he waited a minute and looked inquiringly up at my husband and said, ‘Who did that poo in my pants?’ – Rebbecca Devitt He said, ‘Did you do a poo in your pants?’ Luke didn’t answer. On this occasion, my husband entered the room and smelt it. One day he was rather ashamed when he did a poo in his pants. After toilet training my son, he still had the occasional accident in his pants.
