Quotable Kids
The daily homework battle with Asher was getting frustrating...
Mom: "Asher, will you PLEASE just behave and do your homework?!"
Asher looks down with a very sad look on his face.
Mom: "What's the matter, buddy? I'm not angry at you, just frustrated."
Asher, very seriously: "But, Mommy, if I behave that means I will have to change who I am! Because I don't WANT to behave, I want to play. Does that mean you don't like who I am, Mommy?"
Mom: "Asher, I LOVE who you are. I think you are wonderful! I just really need you to obey."
