After a week of living homebound as a family, my boys have discovered the computer once again. I don't know what the appeal is, but they are preferring it to even the TV or the Wii. They spent a lot of time on the computer yesterday and all I heard all day was one question: "Mom, can I play the computer?" from both boys.
Finally, last night, in frustration I said, "All I have heard all day is, ' Mom, can I play the computer?' Not once have either of you come up and said thanks or I love you." They looked at me like, "Are you answering our question with a nag?" Then they looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and went and found something else to do.
This morning, when Carter woke up, he came and gave me a big hug. He told me good morning and Merry Christmas and was unusually pleasant. Then when I turned on the computer, Carter, who was involved in something else, said, "Mom, I love you."
I smiled because he was so sweet and then I asked, "Carter, are you buttering me up?"
He honestly answered, "Yes."
