But mommy, I didn't do it...

As of late, Ryan refuses to take responsibility for some of his actions. For example, this afternoon while he was painting he got paint on the wall and the floor and the chair. I asked
him why he wasn't being careful and he said, "But I am mommy! The painbrush did it not me!"
Tonight he was putting toothpaste on his toothbrush and somehow got it all over his pajamas
it was the toothbrush not Ryan.
When I was putting a glaze covering over my sand dollars I asked him to PLEASE not touch the sand dollars because they are very fragile and will break easily. What does he do? He pulls a spoon out of the drawer and taps on a sand dollar with the spoon. When I asked him why he didn't listen to me and still touched the sand dollar he said, "I didn't touch them. The spoon did mommy."
When his snack fell off the table because he was jumping around the plate did it not him.
You get the idea...
