Jake's Chocolate

Even though you may think what you are telling your children goes in one ear and out the other, you then are surprised that they really are listening to you when they throw it back in your face...

Poor Jake woke up Monday with the stomach flu and was miserable all day with fever and vomiting...so much fun!! Thankfully he woke up the next day pretty much back to normal, but very whiny the last couple of days. Tonight as I was making dinner, Jake asked for a chocolate candy. I told him that he could have it after he ate all his dinner. So he took it to the table with him and put it next to his dinner to have after he was done. So when he finished his dinner and went to eat his chocolate, Matthew grabbed it before Jake could and was pretending to eat it and tell Jake how yummy it was. Unfortunately Jake did not think that was too funny which Matthew was I think hoping for. Instead he broke down and covered his face with his hands and cried. Matthew said, "Jake, I was just playing around with you. Here is your chocolate." Jake then crying says, "There is no playing around at the dinner table!" Matthew and I just started busting out laughing. I had to grab the camera and get a picture of Jake and his chocolate!
