Eventually, I managed to cheer him up by taking him to a little pond that had ducks. Of course, as soon as we left, he got upset again. I took him to McDonald's (I know - why reward bad behavior? But by then, I would have done anything just to get him to stop crying) and brought his Happy Meal home.
-On a side note: I didn't get anything from McDonald's. Yay me! I love their fries but it didn't take a lot of willpower to say no. As soon as I walked in, my nose was assaulted with this awful smell. Now I wonder why I even ate at McDonald's in the first place!
So - after a couple hours of talking, reading books and playing Wii, my son announced that he was hungry again. So here's how our conversation went verbatim (as I remember it - and I definitely wouldn't want to forget this conversation!)
Logan: Mommy, I'm hungry
Me: Okay, what do you want?
Logan: *giggle*
Me: Logan, what do you want?
Logan: Ice cream *giggle*
Me: You want ice cream!?
Logan: Yep, ice cream for dinner!
Me: You already had dinner, remember? You ate at McDonald's
Logan: *giggle* that wasn't dinner, that was lunch! Now I want dinner
(This was at around 8pm)
Me: You had lunch at 6:30? When the sun was going down?
Logan: Yes *giggle* Can I have ice cream?
Me: How about an orange? And get me one too (I was hoping he'd take the bait)
Logan: (stops to think for a minute, shrugs his shoulders and walks away)
Me: *whew!*
Okay - maybe this wasn't an extra special conversation but it was just too darn cute!
