Making Up Reasons to Whine...

Ben was in the living room playing with trains. Maddie was in the kitchen with me. Ben: "Maddie, do you want to play with the circle train?" Maddie: no response Ben: "Maddie! Do you want to play with the circle train?" Maddie: "No thank you." Ben plays for a few minutes alone, then enters the kitchen. Ben: "Maddie, do you want this circle train?" Maddie: ignores him Ben approaches, hands over the train: "Maddie, do you want this circle train right here?" Maddie takes the train: "Thank you, Ben." Ben goes in the living room for about 1 minute. Ben comes into the kitchen with Maddie and me. Ben: "Mom, Maddie never lets me have a turn with the circle train. She always has to have it!" Mom: "Not my problem today. You gave it to her when she didn't even want it." Is there really anything else to be said to the kid? Come on!
