Life these days is full of bargaining. There must be something in an 8-year old's mind that makes him want to oppose me at ever turn. For example:
Me: It's time to take a bath
Swe-cha: No.
Me: You have to take a bath
Swe-cha: I need a few more minutes
Me: you have 1 minute
Swe-cha: I take 10 minutes
Me: no, you have 1 minute
Swe-cha: I take 8 minutes
Me: you can have 2 minutes
Swe-cha: I take 2 minutes.
Me: okay, 2 minutes
Swe-cha: I take 10 minutes.
Me: We agreed on 2 minutes. That's it.
Swe-cha: okay.
I'm not complaining. I'm actually happy that Swe-cha wants to and is able to banter like this. Kaya lang, there are times when I can't help but roll my eyes.
