Me: Sure. (fidgeting wit toy parts)
Hank: It goes this way.
Me: I think you’re right.
Hank: Mommy?

Well, who among us doesn’t like to be right? At least your portrayal of the conversation makes it sound like he was calm and not irrationally insistent “(IT GOES THIS WAY!”), as preschoolers sometimes tend to be, so I think plus 10 points for Hank.

Just think…if we all began our domestic arguments with that last phrase. I think we could put therapists out of business.

This is all wrong! You must subjugate your child, totalitarian rule for Godsakes! It’s working well in the rest of the world, Egypt, Libya, Iran, hmmm…

I must share a conversation I had with my son, Redding age 4, this afternoon.
Me: Redding you need a rest.
Redding: I got enough sleep.
Me: Your behavior says otherwise.
Redding: I tell you, I got enough sleep, I don’t need a rest.
Me: Well, I guess you’re entitled to your opinion.
Redding: No. No, I’m not!
But Redding and I also both love to be right.
