Mommy: "No, honey. Mommy has 16 days of school until summer and then she will be home all day with you." *the days change as we count them down together*
Alexander: "But it is taking FOREBER. Summer is NEBER going to be here".
Mommy: "I know it seems like forever".
Alexander: "I don't like it, Mommy."
Mommy: "I know, honey. It makes Mommy sad, too."
Alexander sighs. "I'm more sad than you, Mommy. I guess I'll play with Daddy and Umma AGAIN today." Looks at Mommy with emotional manipulation in his eyes.
Mommy: "Yes, and you'll have fun."
Alexander: "But I'll miss you all day long." Starts to cry, as if directed from Martin Scorsese (or Uncle Patrick).
Give that kid an Oscar.
