When my son was about three, whenever I wouldn't buy CocoPuffs or what ever sugar-bombed product conveniently placed at his eye-level, he would say "My real mom would buy me that" I thought it was a rather clever way to express his displeasure. Some of my friends thought he was psychotic. I mostly thought it was cute until I got really frustrated one day and tried to give him away in the supermarket. I was running up to every woman I could find saying: This child seems to think I'm not his mother, and I'm wondering if you are. Meanwhile, my three-year-old is screaming NO, MOMMY,NO. I don't think I could get away with that today, either. When I reminded my son of this story, he said he didn't remember any of thos, but his real mom would buy him a Porsche!
