Allright so Rowdy isn't a genius, but a complete smart-arse. We've been getting the boys to race each other to do things, mainly so they'd actually get done and they would think they were playing a game in the meantime. However Rowdy has developed a sly strategy to ensure his constant victory. Last night they had a race to get changed into their pyjamas. Mr Chic helped Rowdy and I helped Crash. As we were frantically trying to undress them Rowdy threw a wobbly and burst into tears and starting yelling "I DON'T WANT TO RACE!!!", ok ok, so we calmed him down and told him we weren't racing anymore and continued to get them both changed but at a much slower pace and with less giggling. Rowdy was dressed before Crash (well Crash had to run to the toilet halfway through and then be chased through the house in order to get him to wash his hands). As the last button was done up on Rowdy's pyjamas he put his hands up in the air and declared "I AM THE WINNER!". Crash was dismayed "but we weren't racing anymore!"
Genius or smart-arse?

Probably a bit of both :)
ReplyDeleteWe used to encourage the competition to help us get things done and boy did it turn around and bite us on the backside.
Turns out Mr 5 hates to lose at anything and Miss 4 gets very tired with coming second all the time. Mr 2 tries so hard to keep up that he falls over and hurts himself.
Now everything is a competition, getting out the front door, reaching the car, opening the door, getting in, saying mailbox or purple flower or whatever the game is today. *sigh*
