Sharing through the eyes of a three-year-old - Follow-up

As a follow-up to my previous post relating to Jack's sharing abilities, here is an interesting conversation we had tonight. Here is a conversation that occurred as I was putting Theo to bed.

ERIN: I love you so much Theo. Aren't you glad, Jack, that you have Theo for a little brother?
JACK: Yes, he is very kind to me.
ERIN: How is he kind to you Jack?
JACK: He lets me have all his toys. And he rides really nicely in the buggy.

He lets me have all his toys??? As if Theo really has a choice? I only hope that Jack still thinks Theo is kind to him when Theo actually has a say with what is done with his toys.

So there you have it. Another view of sharing from the eyes of a three-year-old.
