At 3 years old – independence …
Or is that willfulness?
“Time for bed.”
“i’m not tired – no.”
Long encounter – shortened …
Shorts down, bare hand meets bare bum. Ouch …
But still … “No!, Not tired.”
Repeat, reprise, repeat.
Eventually hand overpowers bum, adult outlasts toddler.
Off to bed, battle weary … first of many battles!
