Avoiding the issue

A Tale From Dinner Me: Can we talk about the sleep trouble? we’re having? I’d like your help figuring out our problem.  Mac: (eating a chicken wing) I can’t talk to you right now. I’m eating.  Miah: It’s ok to talk at the dinner table.  Mac:  I could CHOKE. Masterclass issue avoidance. I swear he’s 14 most days.

Trains

  Mac and Miah watching the Amtrak today... Mac: Let’s take this train and go see Bennett.  Miah: this one’s going to Maine.  Mac: Let’s go to Maine! Miah: well then we’d be stuck in Maine, just us.  Mac: Mom would pick us up.  😂🤣😂

Fact finding

Me: Hey Cormac! I got your orange (nerf) ball out from behind the TV today! Mac: How did you get it?  Me: Guess! Mac: Did you lean way over? Or get a ladder? Me: Great ideas but nope.  Mac: Did you get a rope? Me: Ooh also good plan but nope. I used the DustBuster to suck it over and grabbed it.  Mac: Yay!

The definition of arguing

Mac: What’s “arguing” mean? Me: It’s when I tell you information and you disagree with it.  Mac: That’s not what arguing is!!! Sigh.
