Fair!!

Tonight when putting the kids to bed, one of them was a little over tired and kept going on and on about how it's not fair. I then remembered that same child, when just learning words, used to say, "It's fair!" in an upset voice, not understanding they should say, "Not fair" when upset. I would always laugh to myself because it sounded so awkward, and usually I laughed enough I wouldn't get irritated. It's too bad they figured out how to complain more effectively. Saying, "It's not fair" gets old really fast. I get frustrated explaining why they are futile in their shouting, but does that work? No. So, tonight I reminisce and miss the good ole days where life was "So Fair!" even if it was said in an upset voice.
