A litte respect....

Yesterday I was talking to Jack and was trying to correct him on 'negotiating' with everything I offer him. He is in a phase right now that says 'I want', 'I want', 'I want'. In an attempt to correct this selfishness, I made the comment with a bit of annoyance in my voice, 'I want a son who shows me some respect.'

I then heard this little husky voice from the hallway say with complete sincerity 'I am a son who shows your respect Mom'. Yes, it was the talkative two-year-old. I could hardly keep from laughing.
