BOYS AND BUGS

Today Sam was out playing with a friend, and when it is just Mason and I he just follows me around. So I went out to get the mail and as I was coming in I saw a grasshopper on the step. I had Mason come over and look at it and he was very interested. He's a boy, enough said. So he crouched down, and I told him to pick it up. He was hesitant and then he told me to pick it up. I said no and then he said something like this.

Mason "Mom, you pick it up."

Mom "No I don't want to."

Mason "Mom, you pick it up and I'll give you a treat."

Mom " I don't want to pick it up Mason."

Mason " You pick it up and I'll give you a treat" then he pointed at me and said "it's your choice"

I still told him I didn't want to and he told me over and over that if I picked it up he would give me a treat and that it was my choice.

Maybe do you think I say that too many times?! I think so. I am constantly giving these little kids choices and letting them decide. But I didn't really think that they would use it back on me, and over something like a grasshopper. Mason Mason Mason, he just says the cutest things and that is what makes me so in love with this little boy.
