what am I teaching this boy??


Romney and I were driving home in the car today and he asked if he could watch a movie.

NO. We're almost home. We only watch movies on long drives.

Long, long pause. I thought we'd moved on.

and then:

"Mom, if I scream and fuss at you and then take a big breath can I watch a movie?"

oh help me.

at least he still has enough innocence to not know better than to show me the inner workings of his maneuvering. may that last a very long time!

Max hasn't articulated it quite that clearly yet, but I can tell he's figured it out. I hate that. JJN

Sometimes, if you're really lucky, they will even clue you in how how their siblings are working you to get their way. Just be oh so careful not to return the favor. I nearly told one of my little darlings once that I knew they were lying by the high tone of voice they used. Never give up YOUR secrets!
