MGR and JOR had a dentist appointment this morning so we went along for the ride. SRR was not content. He started the morning off arguing about the shoes he wanted to wear, then I had to tiptoe through our mud to retrieve his coat from the shed after he left it there this weekend. Then he proceeded to debate everything from his video game time to the color of the sky. I had enough!!After dishing out the punishment that fit the crime (no Wii time today....a day off), he was quite unhappy with me. He kept saying I hated him. I tried to get it through his thick skull that I loved him, but disliked his behavior. SRR eventually got the idea then moved on, allowing me to play "Pizza Parlor" with him at the dentist.
Love the person, dislike the behavior. How many times have I forgotten my own words? I've gone past behavior to dislike the entire person. It's not fair, as chances are I don't know the whole story as to why a person behaves in a certain way. This is one of my character defects that needs work. I'll keep trying, knowing that most, if not all people, are like my SRR: just having a rough day.
Until next time...love away!!

I love me some SRR and JOR. They can do no wrong in their uncle Evan's eyes. It must have been something you did.
