I am not who I want to be!!

Here's how the conversation went one morning at the breakfast table:

S: My friend B is allowed to play PS2 everyday, while we (his bro and him) are only allowed in summer and school break. It's unfair!!

Me: Well, your buddy C does not own a PS2.

S: Well I am not C!

Me: Well you are not B either!

S: But you see, I want to be B, but you won't let me! You are trying to make me someone I am not!

Big bro A: Exactly! Me too! you are making us someone who we are not!

Too funny - I guess it is ok for them to make themselves be someone that they are not. :)

Conversation between my wife and 8 year old daughter at home:

W: See how A, B & C doing. Why dont you also adopt the same method. Why are you so different?

D: Because mom - I am I!!!!!

Re: "I am I"!
lol. why not! I would get written up by my kids were I to compare them with other kids! they've learned to recognize that that is one of the items they can call foul. fine line.
