That’s okay, just tell me your problems …
By Me | August 15, 2005
Ricky just went storming past me, in tears, on his way upstairs.
Me: What’s the problem?
Ricky: It’s not fair! I always have to be the first one to take my bath!
Me: That’s because you’re the youngest, dear.
Ricky: But that’s not fair! I’m always going to be the youngest! Even when I’m a teenager, I’m always going to have to take my bath first.
Me: Ummm … no, when you’re a teenager, I’m not going to be telling you when to take a bath. By then, I hope you’ll have enough sense to arrange your own schedule.
Ricky: (suddenly, miraculously stops crying) Oh, okay.
Occasionally, they really are easy to please. Score one for Mom.
