Rockstar: Mum. What do you think of Waybuloo and Numberjacks?
Me: <Thinking I don’t really want Rockstar to watch a bunch of cbeebies tv programs, so lemme try psyching him out> Well… I like Numberjacks, but I find Waybuloo boring, I think it’s for babies or younger children…
Rockstar: <theatrically reassuring> It’s ok, Mum. If you don’t like Waybuloo, you don’t have to watch it. I like it, so I’ll watch it.
…And another Mum scheme bites the dust…
PS: If you were wondering whether he was on to me, it was quite likely he was. Because he was watching my reaction out of the corner of his eye while saying it… Also because he’s gone on to “Mum. Any program you don’t like, just leave the room. You don’t need to watch while I watch…”
I was so obvious meh?
Haha, what a smart boy you have there, Aileen!
I was thinking more in terms of too independent and defiant 😛
