Pickup Lines

Grafton had a rough day at school recently, having issues behaving and being nice to the other children. During a car ride later that evening, Mom and I were trying to explain the benefits of benevolent behavior in hopes that a rational explanation would somehow reprogram the limbic center of his brain. As usual, we could tell that our pleas and persuasions were ineffective at best. To inject some levity into the situation (mostly for Mom), I provided one last example to Grafton, "Consider what could happen if you tell a girl that she has really pretty hair--she might decide to go out to dinner with you." To which my four year son retorted, "That is your style, Dad!" Mom and I burst out laughing. I have no idea where Grafton picked up that line!
