How Many Times?

Kids can be like a parrot. Lucas has been quite aggressive lately.....talked like me, at times when I lost my patience!

We were at a supermarket checkout counter and Lucas saw Mentos (candy) and asked to buy.
Lucas: Mommy, I want the yellow Mentos.
Me: No, you have enough Mentos at home.
Lucas: But I want the yellow Mentos.
{this goes on for a few times then he said}
Lucas: Mo-mmy, how many times do I have to scold you! I want yellow Mentos.
Me: NO.
{he made me sounded like I am the naughty one}

Me: Lucas, what did J (his classmate) bring for snacks today?
Lucas: Salad.
Me: So healthy. What did Y (another classmate) bring for snack?
Lucas {busy playing}
Me: What did Y bring for snack?
Lucas: Banana. How many times do I have to explain to you!

Chloe: {pulling Lucas' hair}
Lucas: Chloe, stop pulling my hair.
Chloe: {continued pulling}
Lucas: STOP IT. How many times do I have to tell you to stop pulling my hair!

This incident happened a few months back and thought I should blog it.
Lucas: {spilled milk on the bed}
Dom: Lucas, why did you spill your milk on the bed?
Lucas: Be-cause, you need a little of practice cleaning up!
Dom: {flabbergasted}
