My 8 year old i out of school today nd decided to give me his report card saying he had an F. I look at it, ready to ground him and its A's and B's. He then gives me a note from his teacher sayin he made the teachers honor role and there is an award assembly next week.
He then goes on to say that he's on the right rode to the White House....the kid already has my vote.
The other day, my 2 oldest boys were home from school. My middle son likes to be the trickster of the 3 and was doing what ALL little brothers do best, bugging his older brother to make him scream.
I casually called him into the living room for one of what feels like our hourly talks on being nice to our brothers and not bugging big brother. We got ino a little argument and he was yelling at me and I told him to go to his room. As he was walkin away this was how the conversation went:
ME: Ethan, are you aware that you are yelling and being annoying?
ETHAN: No, im not
ME: That's apparent
ETHAN: No, it's not, nothings a parent
ME: Well, I'm a parent (trying to be funny and lighten the mood)
ETHAN: No, you're not a parent
ME: Well, if I'm not a parent, what am I?
ETHAN: You are just a mommy
ME: Yes, I am a mommy, but a mommy is a parent
ETHAN: No, a mommy is a mommy and nothing is a parent
Needless to say, I was never more than happy to end that conversation
