Squeeze Your Cheeks!

So, I don't know if I've ever told you this one....but Rylan was probably about 3, an early 3. 

This is when they're really learning a lot about life and picking up on things you never would have thought a child could comprehend.

On the other hand, the don't quite get analogies or sayings that have two meanings. 

For example:

Rylan was with Grandma at the park.

Of course, like all kids do, in the middle of the park, in the most inconvenient place, Rylan declares he really has to go to the bathroom.  Like, really has to go....#2.....

So Grandma says okay and they try to gather things together, including Nathan who's about 1 and a half at that time.

Rylan's trying to wait, but you know, when you're three, the world revolves around this.

So Grandma is jogging a little in front of him saying, "Come on, let's go, you can make it!  Squeeze your cheeks."

She takes a look behind her to see how Rylan's doing and sees him squeezing his cheeks. 

He's got his hands on either side of his mouth and is pushing as hard as he can.

He says, "What's that gonna do?"
