[QUOTE="donna723, post: 426508, member: 1883"] For Mothers Day I got a trip to a minor league baseball game from my son last night and a phone call from my daughter this morning. She was a little bummed out because her husband is working nights this week, was already asleep, and had forgotten to wish her a Happy Mothers Day. When he gets up she plans to say just enough to him to make him feel like crappola for forgetting, then she'll forgive him. I could hardly hear her over my grandson screaming! Ethan just turned two last Sunday, and it's amazing how early they learn the diversionary tactics they will use all their lives! Ever since he was physically capable of getting up on the sofa, he has been forbidden to stand up on it because he falls off. So the minute her back is turned or she's on the phone, he's up on the sofa, only now he stacks pillows up on the sofa and tries to stand up on them ... further to fall! We hadn't talked two minutes when the screaming started! He fell off the sofa and bumped his arm. He was crying because it hurt but he was MAD and angrily jabbering something I couldn't understand, but the jist of it is that he blames the SOFA! It [I]intentionally[/I] and [I]maliciously[/I] hurled his tiny body off on to the floor and hurt his arm (which was just fine, by the way). I was the [U]sofa's[/U] fault, certainly not his, and the crying was way out of proportion to the tiny bump he got because if he cries [B]really[/B] loud he might get some sympathy instead of getting in trouble for standing up on the sofa! They learn so quickly, don't they! [/QUOTE]
