Josh had a day off today and his other brothers went to preschool.
Him: “Mom!!! I can’t wait to tell Sammy about the things we did today! I can’t wait to show him the toy you got me!!”
Me: “Wellll, honey, remember how upset he was this morning that you had a day off and he still had to go to school? He may not actually appreciate hearing about your fun day. You *might* not want to talk about it much with him. That’s called ‘wisdom.’ Are you allowed? Sure. Is it best for Sammy? Probably not.”
*2 min later we pick up Sammy & TJ from preschool*
Josh to Sam: “SAMMMEEEEE!!!!! YOU SHOULD SEE THE COOL NEW TOY MOM GOT ME AND ALSO SHE MADE ME GRILLED CHEESE FOR LUNCH AND I GOT TO PLAY COMPUTER GAMES!!!!!”
Boy, you just tied yourself up to the alter and imma just step aside while Sammy reigns down his holy fire on your head and consumes the wood and the stones and the dust and the water in the trench.
