Send him home...

A couple of days ago, one of my neighbor's children came over to play with Hayden. As he rings the doorbell, I let him inside and he bolts to the backyard with Hayden in tow. Jeff was home and I needed to get a couple of things from the farmer's market across the street, so I asked Jeff if he was okay watching the boys for a few minutes. He was so I left, and returned about 10 minutes after I left to find that the boys hadn't killed each other and Jeff's hair was still in his head (he was still calm). I go outside to check on Jeff, clearly the boys are alright covered in sand from the sandbox, I ask Jeff if he's okay and he's just laughing. He went on to tell me that Hayden and his friend got into a little spat because Hayden wouldn't share his toys. PC (neighbor child) comes over to Jeff and says, "Hayden's daddy, Hayden won't share his truck, he keeps taking it from me." So Jeff pulls Hayden to the side and explains that he needs to share with PC and not a second after Jeff finished talking Hayden says, "Make PC go home!". Joy, joy, the things I have to look forward to in the near future when Hayden can't send his sibling back to where he/she came from!

Hee hee! Kids are a *little* selfish, no? I've told everyone that if they want proof that humans are born selfish, they have only to take a look inside a daycare. There's so much raw self-preservation going on in there, it reminds me of Lord of the Flies! HA!
