This afternoon, I went to pick my son up at daycare. When I got there, I found that he was trying to hug one of the girls in his class (to protect the identity of the unhuggable, I'll call her Betty) without her permission. No matter how many times I told him he had to ask her permission or the teacher showed him how easy it was to get Betty's permission, he flat-out refused. He kept trying to hug, we kept stopping him, rinse, repeat.
He got bored of this game and started to run around the room. He passed by Betty and put a shoulder into her...not enough to hurt her or knock her down, but enough to be rude.
So what does Dad...the boss, the smart one...do?
I tell Nate that he has to go apologize to Betty. And he does the standard apology: an "I'm sorry" accompanied by...
...a big hug, of course, met with open arms.
To recap: After several minutes of refusing to let my son hug a girl without her permission, he decides to Jedi mind trick me into ordering him to hug her. Which she welcomes.
1-zip, Nate.
This has to be one of the funniest stories I've ever heard!! Hahaha!
