We had one of those talks today…you know…those “I-need-you-to-listen-to-me-because-you-are-not-too-young-to-understand-the-meaning-of-the-word-respect” talks. I was talking to the big boy about not using his water bottle as a g u n at school. And about not using that insolent tone with me or his elders…and I was saying it is disrespectful and it can hurt a person’s feelings and blah, blah, blah…mwah, mwah, mwah, wahwah, wah (insert Charlie Brown grown-up trumpet voice here.)
You know what he said? He interrupted me with a rather insolent tone and said, “How long is this [conversation] going to exist? Until the end of the universe?” Hilarious. We both cracked up.
ha ha … They say the darndest things!
