Tonight's negotiation

Tonight, I was cooking chicken nuggets for the boys. It has been a while since we had these in the house and I wasn't sure how many to cook for each of them.

I asked Jack how many nuggets he'd want. His response was classic. He started by explaining that he had had this same discussion with Christine. The outcome of that discussion was that he would need eight nuggets.

Well, these are kind of big nuggets and eight would be a lot. My response was, ok, how about four. Jack quickly responded in a very matter of fact tone, "ok then, four it is".

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
