Trust

S (6 y/o, while under the kitchen table for some reason): Oh no! There's dirt stuck to my pyjamas. I knew I shouldn't have trusted these pyjamas.

Relativistic cleanliness...

This is just the most recent morning argument re clothes between my son and wife. I agree with her, that children should wear clothes that, at the very least, start out clean each morning. My son has other opinions.

Mammy: Change into some clean clothes please

C (7 y/o): These ARE clean!

Mammy: They are not - you wore them all weekend, and slept in them last night.

C: They are clean. They're cleaner than you!

Even the most cursory glance would show that they were not...

I'm not tired...

The parents are not cooperating and caving to whatever bizarre and urgent demands the 6 y/o is having, at the end of the long day. But she's not tired. Definitely not...

S (6 y/o, shouted.): Mommeeeeeee!

Mammy (to me): She's very tired.

S (shouted): I'm not tired! If I was tired, I wouldn't be shouting!
