Me: "Well, that depends...I'm in a happy mood right now. Why do you ask?"
Drew: "I have something to tell you, but can we discuss this calmly and rationally?"
Me: "Yes." (I didn't realize that I don't discuss things calmly and rationally.)
Drew then went on to tell me that he forgot to do a homework page last night, therefore receiving a "-1" in his planner. This was the second time this week he had forgotten a homework assignment. I listened and then said, "Drew, we are having some responsibility issues lately."
Drew: "Yes, I'm aware of that."
Then, I hear him utter, under his breath, "Okay, that went better than I expected."
I am now re-evaluating my "calm and rational."

Perfect! Children have such a way sometimes. _diedre
That's funny!!
Calm and rational is in the eye of the beholder. The under their breath (or behind your back) comments are always a tell. The good part is that they are talking about and not hiding goofs.
hahahaha... I love that kid. :)
