So a few worth noting lately;
Today, while driving with three kids in the car, his friend J dropped (or possibly threw) two of Atti’s Star Wars books onto the floor of the car. “That is very unprofessional behavior J” Atti stayed. I was all ‘unprofessional’? While J’s Mum was mostly impressed at the combination ‘unprofessional behaviour’. As usual, no clue where it came from.
There was a public holiday here recently and we had lunch and a swim with friends. During the afternoon Atti was playing with another child’s fan, and I took the opportunity to show him how to snap it open and shut, and then I was vamping with it, peeping over the top and the like and Atti said “that’s what geishas do”. Where on earth did you learn about geishas? “Dinosaur kings” (tv show).
And we went to a play date with a little girl recently who was being a pain in the bottom. Told Atti he wasn’t allowed in her room, played games on the iPad in front of him but wouldn’t let him touch, cranked up her volume when he played on my phone instead. In the end we went to leave and Atti said he was hungry and the Mum offered him something from her snack drawer. He asked for sultanas - the last packet, and the little girl had a total meltdown. As we were about to drive away, Atti said “A(little girl) is a powerful girl” - which her mum heard and thought was hilarious.
It was actually really interesting bc Atti and I talked about her behaviour on the way home (so I could make the point that he acts like that sometimes and it wasn’t nice, was it?). Atti was pretty bloody gracious about it all. He had been very good humoured about how she treated him at the time, and talking about it on the way home he was suggesting reasons that she was ‘grumpy’ that were pretty generous.
