Carter's latest strategy for getting out of things he doesn't want to do is to claim he doesn't know how to do whatever it is we need him to do. Two cases in point:
At bedtime one night, Thomas tells Carter to lay in his bed. Carter responds by saying "I don't know how to lay in my bed!" and demonstrates by attempting to do a headstand in the bed.
Another day, Carter wants to put on his "running pants", which are actually shorts, and it is too cold to wear them. Thomas tells Carter he can wear the sweatpants that he already has on, "they're great for running!" Carter responds, "I don't know how to run in sweatpants!" and demonstrates by orchestrating an overly dramatic fall, "See!?", he says.

That. Is. Awesome. I know probably not for you but that cracks me up.
While frustrating on one level, it is mostly just freakin' funny!
hahahaha that's awesome! i'm going to try that myself. think it'll work?
;)
Having raised two, if I recall, the next stage will be the "I don't know" ghost everytime a mishap has occurred. As in, "who did that?" or "who broke the ...."? Ans: "I don't know".
Funnier now, than then.
