I love Theo's creativity...even when he's mad. The other day, he demanded a toy from me in the car. He didn't ask for it, he demanded it. So I said no. He followed up the demand with a polite request, but I said no anyway and explained that he's old enough to know he needs to ask nicely the first time, not demand and then ask nicely after I scold him.
This was met with a roar from the back seat, and then he took a deep breath, composed himself, and announced, "I am a DRAGON, Mommy, and I bring FIRE down on you!"
I laughed out loud. I couldn't help myself. No ordinary "I hate you" or "You're the meanest Mommy in the world!" Nope, I get a five-year-old who sounds like something from Lord of the Rings....
