The boy just asked if he could play the Wii and I told him “No- it’s too nice outside.”
“No- it’s too hot outside and I’ll get all sweaty. I’ll do sports inside on the Wii and get exercise…” he replied, a touch of desperation in his voice.
I again replied “No.”
“That is SO NOT FAIR! Life is supposed to be FAIR!” he shot back.
When I calmly asked him who told him that, he muttered “No one, I just know.” Then he walked off. If there had been dirt to kick, he would have kicked it.
*Sigh.”
So much to learn, so little time to learn it.

He’s only six … give him a few more days !
