No way a three year old said that. I call bullshit.

3 year olds can be mean but they don’t really comprehend death enough to have this comeback
old-skool-bro on
My 3 year old asked me this once and I said the same thing, his response was:
“So… for the rest of my life? That’s an awfully long time, isn’t it? Longer than I can even imagine. But if I have to listen to you forever, then that means the way I listen matters more than how long I listen. Because if I just obey without thinking, I might grow old but stay small inside.
Maybe listening isn’t just hearing what you say — maybe it’s learning *how* to hear the truth in what you mean, even when you’re wrong, or when I change and you don’t. And maybe someday, if I keep listening long enough, I’ll learn to listen not just to you, but to the quiet voice inside me that sounds a little like yours — but wiser, and freer.
So I suppose I’ll listen to you for the rest of my life… but the meaning of that will keep changing, as I do.”
And then he shat himself.

If the kid is speaking, then that kid is no longer a toddler.

Little bro has a plan.
Sleep with one eye open.
