After the recent move,one person we seem to have obviously ticked off is our 8 year old.She misses her school,friends,her old room etc. Every now and then , we have a mega serial episode "I want to pack my bags and leave ..I don't like it here...why did we have to move ?? " We have learnt to deal with one day at a time pledging every morning we will not wear out and snap :) .
One such heated day
Tolkien : "That's it...I don't want to do this. Why do I have to be told what to do all the time ? "
Mom : " Because , pretty soon I won't have a chance to say much when you grow up.You will be a free bird "
Tolkien : "Why do I have to follow rules ? Why should parents make the rules all the time ? "
Mom : "Because we are older and I think we know a tad bit more "
Tolkien : Not in the mood to be convinced still " Why should we follow your rules ? "
Suddenly , Elvish realises ,there may be something in it for him
Elvish : "What!! You mean,we have a choice !If we don't follow their rules ,whose rules can we follow ? "
He understands,he is not old enough to not have any,but he is definitely open to shopping around :) .
