I dropped Aidan and Brennan off at soccer practice and fell into a conversation with a new mom to the boys' school. Griffin was eager to get back into the car and interrupted the conversation several times, the last of which he pleaded for us to leave.
I excused myself and had a stern talk with Griffin on our walk back to the car.
"Griffin, you do not interrupt adults when they are talking like you just did. It was very rude." I scolded him.
"But, Mom you said we could go home right after we dropped Aidan and Brennan off!" He pleaded.
"I understand that. But sometimes, you don't get what you want right when you want it. The world does not revolve around you." I replied.
His eyes filled with tears as he nodded. He swallowed and said quietly, "It sure would be nice if it did though."
In spite of myself, I laughed. Because how can you not appreciate a response like that?
