Memorable conversations #8

Setting: Evening car ride from Best Buy.
Participants: Phoukham and Tayden
RE: Points earned to buy legos

Tayden: Dad, did I earn a point today? I went to Best Buy with you and I was good.
Phoukham: No! You don't earn points just by being good at Best Buy!
Tayden: But you said I'd earn points if I were good!
Phoukham: I said you earn points by doing spectacular things. Like helping with chores without having me ask you. Or getting blue, purple or pink days at school.
Tayden: That's not true Dad! You said I get one point for being good. And 10 points for being extra good.
Phoukham: I don't remember that at all. I think you're making that up.
Tayden: I'm not making it up. And of course you don't remember...you're old! You're like 38! And old!
Phoukham: I know what I said and I didn't say that. And I'm not that old!
Tayden: Oh, you're old Dad.

Lesson learned: When your six year old declares you old, it's time to think about using Just For Men! And for the record, he didn't get his points!
