Yesterday I was taking Xavier (age 2) and August (age 9) with me on a couple of errands. August was lamenting the fact that he wasn’t getting to watch some of his favorite shows when he wanted to as we were getting into the van.
August: “I liked it before Ciárán watched TV with us. Then Déla and I could watch whatever we wanted to without worrying about it being appropriate for him.”
Me: “Oh yeah? I liked it before you all were born so that I would watch whatever I wanted to any time at all or play any kind of video game without worrying about it. Want to keep complaining?”
August: “No.”
Xavier: “Yes.”
