Four Year Old Pity

We were wrapping up dinner when Marshall complained of some ailment. I forget now what it was he complained of, like a tongue that was bit or a leg that was hurting. Most likely, he just didn't want to finish the last of his dinner. I don't know who taught them that telling Mommy and Daddy that something hurts is going to get you out of eating your dinner, but the advice was bad, because in our house, we don't buy it. They eat their dinner. I know, I know, we're sooooo mean!

Shaylen obviously had more pity on Marshall than we did because she piped up from the other side of the table and offered this bit of consolation.

"Dessert will make it better!"
