I was in the kitchen and the boys were downstairs playing games on their computers. I could hear them decide that they wanted a vitamin. Nick came upstairs and said, “Mommy, did we have our bear vitamin today?” I told him he didn’t and opened the bottle of brightly coloured bear shapes. I shook out a few on my hand and held it open for Nicholas to choose. He took two orange bears and toddled off downstairs with them. What happened next was I heard my own words come out of the mouth of my oldest son.
The conversation:
Nick: Here’s your vitamin.
Bryn: NICK! I said I wanted a PINK one. ARRG! You never listen… you NEVER listen Nick. How many times did I tell you I wanted a pink one? Three times Nick! THREE TIMES! And what happens? You get an orange one. You never listen Nick.
Pause for dramatic effect…….
Nicholas: (who had been on his computer the whole time) Yay! I won! I came in first!!!!
Bryn was right. Obviously, Nick wasn’t even listening to his rant about not listening!
