Nice Try Noah

A little history first...Noah is now the proud owner of a Sony PSP and loves to play the heck out of it. Noah has also been putting up a pretty good fight as far as eating whats good and healthy for you lately. This has been a huge topic of conversation lately. We're working on it but we've got a ways to go yet. Anyway, after I mentioned something about Valentines day this is what Noah had to say...

Mom, I know that I should really be eating healthier. I also know that I eat too much candy, some you don't even know about because my friends share with me at school. So since I need to start eating better I figured that for Valentines day you shouldn't get me any candy, since it's bad for me and all. But I don't think it would be fair if I didn't get anything so how about you just get me a game for my PSP? That way I won't have to eat the candy that's bad for me. We could check Game Stop for a used Spiderman one if you wanted.

I stood there looking at him for a moment then busted up laughing. That kid has some smarts in that head of his but he's not going to fool his mom. He knows (and sadly for him I also know) that between grandparents, Valentines and Valentine parties at school he will get plenty of the sugary stuff to eat. So hitting me up for a new game, which are not cheap, by using the "candy isn't good for me angle" just had to work, right? I have a feeling that my eldest child is going to have a bummer of a Valentines Day...all because I love him.

NOTE: Because a few have asked...no, Noah did not get a new or used game for his Sony PSP. He did, however, get a couple of Lego Racers and one Nestle Crunch bar from his mom and dad. The rest of his sugary needs were meet by friends and extended family members. =)
