On the way home from preschool today, Tyler and I had a funny conversation.
Tyler: We played I-Spy today, but I didn't get a turn like everyone else.
Heidi: Hmm...that's a bummer. Did you cry?
Tyler: NO.
Heidi: Did you throw a fit?
Tyler: NO.
Heidi: Did you yell?
Tyler: NO.
Heidi: Did you have a tantrum?
Tyler: NO!
Heidi: Well, that's good! I just wondered because that's how you'd act at home if you didn't get your way. Why didn't you have a tantrum for Mrs. Lincoln?
Tyler: I didn't want to bother the other classes.
Heidi. Oh! That's great!
{dramatic pause...}
Heidi: Did you know that your tantrums bother people at home?
Tyler: (apparently surprised) They do? I didn't know that!
Heidi: It's true. So tell me how you acted when you didn't get a turn.
Tyler: I just sat there and did what I usually do when we do a game where I get a turn.
Heidi: So you were happy?
Tyler: I wasn't excited about it, like I'm excited about going to Disneyland. I was just regular.
Heidi: Good for you.
pass it on!

"I was just regular..." kills me. What an articulate boy!
What a funny kid! My kids always tell me that they are better for other people than they are for me.
Oh I Looove that. :)
Oh my gosh, this is the funniest thing that has happened to me all day. I am going to see if I can frame a similar conversation for...certain members of my own household. To bad Eve isn't old enough to reason this well! Good boy, Ty.
I love when you tell about certain conversations. It makes me feel more like I'm there. What an adorable boy and a great mom conversation. I adore Tyler's conversations!
Love the "I was just regular" comment!!
Too cute!
