At the Small Town Library, a family is leaving storytime.
Mom: We're not going to play with the trains.
Toddler: Why?
Mom: Because every time we do that, you cry.
Toddler: Why aren't we going to play with the trains?
Mom: I don't know; why do you cry every time?
Toddler: Because it's time to play with the trains!
Both Small Town Library and Downtown Library have train tables. They often make emotions run high, but this is the first I've heard of someone who is brought to tears at every interaction.
This toddler will grow up to engage in emotionally destructive relationships.
ReplyDeleteyes, or be a trainspotter maybe
DeleteI hope the latter! Especially if those are my only two choices.
Deletesome parents I know dread The Public Train Set. Ground zero for toddler conflict.
