My son was crushed today b/c the maintenance man pushed the elevator button and he wanted to do it. He stood with arms crossed, quietly glaring at the elevator door behind the pumpkin mask he was wearing. Being the horrible person I am, I snickered a little bit as we got out. He turned and said in his most earnest voice "Don't laugh at me! I am angry and jealous and upset and you don't laugh."
Jealous? I didn't even know he knew that word. So it made me laugh again. Poor kid. He was dead serious in his angst and his mother laughs.

I think it's his seriousness when he says it that makes it so darn funny. Anybody else find it hard to keep a straight face when you child is expressing something?
