Adorable Moppet: Mama, will you read me a story?But seriously, I've been reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Firstborn, one chapter a day, and today we reached the delightful chapter 8, which is almost a whole page long! I was pleased, but he felt a bit cheated. I told him he had to go to bed now anyway because I still have presents to wrap, and he made a grouchy face, grasped the door handle, said "Slam!" and then closed it carefully and quietly.
Highly Efficient Mother: Certainly, dearest. Shall we read Managing and Using MySQL, or JavaScript for the World Wide Web?
AM: No, I want I Was So Mad.
HEM: Perhaps I should book your therapist now.
This is a new thing. I like this new thing.

wow, that IS a good thing!!
Wait till he sees the movie- then he'll REALLY feel cheated.
I remember the first time my son slammed the door when he was upset with me... My first thought was "I guess this is payback". I slammed many a door because of my mother when I was a teenager.
