The Dude has been a little moody lately. Could be a growth spurt, could be immune system down, could be not enough sleep, could be too much Halloween candy. Either way, he's like a time bomb the last few days.
Today, the horrible injustice the Universe bestowed upon him was: he didn't like his oatmeal with kefir in it. He usually has it with milk and maple syrup and I suggested he try it with kefir this time. He got it all set up, tried it, and cried. I offered him solutions and he chose to try to rinse the kefir off of the oatmeal. So, we got a strainer out, rinsed the bowl, spoon and oatmeal and put it all back together.
Kat: "Jackson, you know that what I'm doing right now is exceptional, right? I'm taking time to help you fix the problem."
Jackson: (moping) "Yes, mama. I know dat."
He sits back down, we re-assemble the oatmeal the usual way and warm it up. He sits down and begins eating in silence.
After a long pause, Jackson: "Thank you, mama. I'm sowwy I yewwed."
