Watch what you say.

Four year olds do not have a lot of patience… (shocking discovery, I know… ) especially when waiting in line for a turn on the mini bumper boats.

Almost 4 year old: I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I just CAN’T wait!

Daddy: Why? What’s going to happen to you if you wait?

I was just about to enter into their conversation with the words, ‘are you going to explode if you wait’? And then quickly stopped myself… no, not because they are perhaps not the best words to say to a 4 year old and may one day cause him to require therapy, but because as a headscarf-wearing woman, accompanied by a bearded husband… trust me on this… ‘explode’ is not a word that you would want to be saying in public!
