Me: K, come on up with your book.
K (screaming with excitement): Ma’am I got ‘Princesses are not just pretty’ book this time!!
Me (surprised): WOW! How did you know the name of this book?
K (smirking, without a pause): That’s because I am a clever clock!
K and I were having a moment of the witty comeback when H came up beside him and said, “Ma’am I only told him the name of this book”.
To me, the witty comeback was a sign of K’s growing confidence and his ability to make a good connection with what his friend.
What kind of wit or humour have you heard from your child recently? Do they make you laugh or cringe in pain knowing that they are shining a mirror onto your behaviour sometimes?
