Frequently heard at my house...

"You CAN'T DO that!!!"

and

"THAT'S not RIGHT!!!"

Said in the righteous wail of a 5 year old boy when the game he's playing isn't quite going in the direction he planned. Usually an adult 'monster' is carrying him off 'base' by the scruff of his neck, after having had enough of being told:

"You CAN'T DO that!"

and

"THAT'S not RIGHT!"

As with many Samisms, we've adopted these into the adult parlance of the household, along with other favorites, like:

"NEVER make this for dinner AGAIN!"

It's amazing to me how children can influence you at the same time you influence them (I also have a 5 year old son, also a 4 month old son). In my house its always "I can't do that because >insert completely unrelated and bizzare thing here<"
IE: "I can't eat that dad, because tonight there's werewolves. But the bats will probably eat them, so its ok, I'm not scared.." I worry about him sometimes...
Oh yeah, he also does the thing where if he doesn't get to do something he likes he'll go "Ok, well then I guess I'll just NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!"

I haven't heard the werewolf one-too funny! Your son has a good imagination. Sam's big on the "I'm NEVER gonna do it again!" thing. It cracks me up(secretly)when he tries to wield consequences on ME. Kids definately add some strange new dimensions to your life...
