Me (after finally making it to the end of a ride that turned out to be MUCH scarier than I’d anticipated): Woo hoo, Sam! We made it all the way through and you weren’t even scared one time!
Sam (holding up two fingers and sporting a relieved grin): Actually, I wasn’t even scared TWO times!
We tacitly agreed to forget the rest of the ride and just focus on those two moments that didn’t scare him. Good Parenting Example #412.
Ha! Which ride was it? Dillon still hasn’t forgiven me for putting him on Space Mountain.
I’m always saying to Dillon, “Stop telling me what you don’t want. Tell me what you DO want.” Focus on the positive. 🙂
