i have a rule with my children that the first thing they say to me in a new day cannot be a request for something.
this results with them sometimes saying things like:
"did you sleep well dad? great. can you help me with my homework?"
or
"you look handsome today dad. can you log me on so i can check my mail?"
the other morning, the first thing anthony said to me, as he brought me from sleep was, "dad, you have a lot of hair in your nose".
i might need to extend the ban to include comments that make my first act of the day be studying my aging body, super-up-close, in the mirror.
