ON A LIGHTER NOTE......

I have to share one of my favourite exchanges with my two sons when they were younger.

My oldest son Kyle was around 8 and he was helping me prepare a stew I was making for dinner. He was at the counter totally engrossed in the preparation of the vegetables when his younger 6 year old brother Corey came by and remarked..."Hah hah Kyle you are doing girls work."

Kyle responded, "Boys need to learn how to cook too." I mentally patted myself on the back feeling good about the fact that my son had actually learned the importance of equality and equal share in work. But my bubble soon burst when I heard Kyle add..."After all, who is going to do the cooking when the mom is sick?"

Not quite the lesson I was trying to teach....:)
