Here's a little exchange that took place between me and my 5-year-old little fella earlier today:
Me: Summit, put Mercy Lou in her cage.
Summit: What's the magic password?
Me: Do it or I'll take your DS for a week.
Summit: I was looking for 'please.'
Ouch. How's that for a lesson? I take so much time telling them the importance of saying 'please' and 'thank you' and all that... At least he's paying attention. And reminding me that I need to pay attention, too.
