Once Upon A Time

There’s a new phrase on the scene, “I did already.”  Its versatility and applicability to almost any parent-produced question is quite remarkable.

Q: Jakey, do you want to use the potty?
A: I did already.

Q: Jacob, let’s go wash hands.
A: I did already.  Mama, I did already.

Q: JJ, brush teeth time.
A: I did already.

If he’s done it before… three weeks ago, maybe once in his life… then “he did already.”
