My Funny Kid

Luke is the funniest kid and he also has a little bit of a stubborn streak. I know he gets this from me so it just drives me that much more crazy when he starts being stubborn over something.

Last week was his first day of latch-key and I told him I would give him a dollar for some milk. One of his friends also goes to the morning latch-key and his mom told me he always gets breakfast. I knew that Luke would want to follow his friend through the line so I gave him a dollar for milk.

Luke: “Mommy, I don’t want milk”.

Me: “I am sure you will want to get milk so put the dollar in your pocket.”

Luke: “No, I won’t.”

Me: “Please put it in your pocket because I know you will.”

Luke: “No mommy I won’t.”

Me: “OK, then take the dollar and keep it and don’t buy milk. You will have it in your pocket if you change your mind.”

Luke: “Mommy I am not going to change my mind.” If only you could here the frustration in his tone.

Fast forward to noon when I am picking him up.

Me: “How was latch-key this morning?”

Luke: “Good, I bought chocolate milk mommy and it was good. Tomorrow I want breakfast.”

First I have to fight with him knowing he will want to go through the line and now he has and he wants to upgrade to breakfast. I know my kids way to well….

This child loves going to latch-key because of breakfast... go figure
