Me: "HA! I win. Girl." I grinned.
He glowered at me. "Best outta three..." I'm telling you. This kid shoulda been a cowboy.
[Fast forward to the part where I beat him again...in rock, paper, scissors. Geez. What kinda mom do you think I am?! lol]
Me: "You do know that your dad is actually the one you should be talking to about this, right? He's the one that really wants a sister for you."
C: "What?!" He looks as if he has just been betrayed by more than just genetics and DNA. The very essence of the 'boy code' has been compromised.
I left him to chew on this thought for a while. He's comin' around...but I am pretty sure he wishes that rock, paper, scissors game had gone his way. ;-)
