a 5-year-old boy's take on roses

When we came home from our Valentine's Day outing on Saturday, Aidan noticed that there was something left at our front door.  Coconut cupcakes and a group of miniature yellow roses.  A sweet offering from good visiting teachers. 

Well, that didn't fly for Aidan. 

"Are those flowers from Dad?"

"No, they aren't."

"Well, what happened to the flowers he bought you?  The red ones?"

"They died two weeks ago, so I threw them away."

"Well, these ones aren't from Dad, so you need to throw them away, too."

I laugh.

To which he firmly replies, "Right now.  Only Dad can give you flowers."

Funny! I can see he knows that mommies and daddies should be committed to each other. that is a good thing!

How funny! Were you able to talk him out of it? What nice visiting teachers you have!

[Leilani]

Nice to know that Aidan is looking out for Jim!

I wonder where he got that notion that only Jim could give you flowers. How funny.

Aidan sure has a sense of how the world should be, doesn't he? That's cute that he stood up for Jim.
