Why is it …

Posted by Dad-dito on January 19, 2008

Why is it M-ito can’t get up for school at 7am every weekday but come Saturday morning he’s up at 6am?Why is it M-ito says, “Just one more minute,” on these very same weekdays when I try to get him up, and “Dad-dito, Mom-ita, wake up!” on Saturday mornings? Why is it M-ito never wants to take a bath but once he’s in the bathtub he doesn’t want to come out?Why is it M-ito loves a food (kiwis, strawberries, oatmeal, eggs) only until it’s in front of him – then he hates it. Why is it M-ito never fights with other kids at school and always does what his teachers say – but at home we fight over brushing teeth, taking a bath, going to bed, eating dinner, putting on socks, putting on a hat, getting shoes on, saying goodbye, saying hello, reading books, peeing, and washing hands before meals?
