Dear Pea,

People usually say ‘uh-oh’ when something happens by accident. For example, say Mommy walks by the desk and knocks a book on the floor when she bumps into the desk. ‘Uh-Oh’ would be a perfect word to use in that situation.

Why? Because Momma didn’t mean to knock the book on the floor. She did it by accident when she bumped into the desk.

Now… let’s look at the way you use the term ‘Uh-Oh.’

• Just now, you felt the need to throw a tantrum. So you threw your sippy cup and the toy you were holding on the floor in the kitchen. You looked up at Momma and said: “Uh-Oh” (you like to drag out the oh part, so it’s more like Uh…. OOOOoooooh)
• When you sit in your booster seat to eat. Recently, you have decided that when you are all done (or as you say “Oooo-gun”) that it would be a great idea to throw your food on the floor. This morning it was your Cheerios. Last night, pasta (Or “pa-pa” as you call it)
• When you are having tubby time, you have recently decided that not only do you want to play with your toys in the tub, but you want to decorate the bathroom floor with your tub toys as well… leaving a nice puddle outside of the tub. You have been throwing your toys out of the tub and saying “Uh… OOoooooh”

See dear, these are not ‘Uh-Oh’ situations. MMmkay? It’s not an ‘Uh-Oh’ when you do it on PURPOSE. Mommy and Daddy have been trying to explain that to you, but alas- we are speaking to a 16 month old in her own little word who could care less that we say “It’s not an uh-oh.”

**Sigh**

Hopefully you’ll learn soon.

Love,

Momma
