When I drive around with the kids, I try to teach Caleb about basic traffic rules, like green lights mean go, and red lights mean stop. Today while running errands with the kids, I was approaching a red light and Caleb started this really annoying whine over and over. Here is a transcript of our short conversation-
Me: "Caleb, what's wrong?"
Caleb (in super whiny voice): "Nothing, I'm just whining."
Me: "Well, why are you whining?"
Caleb: "Because the lights are red!"
Hmmmmm. Isn't that interesting? Apparently he's picked up on the fact that red lights not only mean stop, but whine annoyingly and continuously as well. I wonder whose behavior he's imitating here. Something to think about....

Grandpa Terry, he gets it from Grandpa Terry!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! I myself have panic attacks when I come upon a red light. The questions that go through my head go something like this... Will I get to my destination in time?...Will the van stall in the middle of the road?... Is my tire going flat?... Did I miss the green light?...And How much longer do I have to sit in this van with my screaming Children?
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and I will see you tonight!
