Words of Encouragement

Amazing Family Race

Context :
During meal times, mom usually encourages Sam to finish his food by saying, "Almost done. One more bite!"

Today, Sam saw that his dad stopped eating his dinner for a minute. He approached his dad and said, "Almost there, dad!"

Sam : Mom, why did we go to the doctor today? Am I sick?

Mom : No, you're not sick. You had your immunisation shots.

Sam : The doctor pinched me?

***

Sam : I don't want to see that doctor anymore.
Mom : Why? (thinking that it was because of the shots)
Sam : Because I want lollipop, not jelly. The other doctor gave me lollipop.


***
Mom : Why are you watching Toy Story in Spanish? You don't know Spanish.
Sam : Yes I do. Uno, dos, tres...

Sharing

In the car...

Dad borrowed Sam's basketball hoops this morning and placed them in his bag.
Sam : Those are MY toys!
Dad : I know. Can I borrow them?
Sam : Why?
Dad : I'm bringing them to my office.
Sam : Why? Are you sharing them with your friends?
Dad : Yes. You have to share your toys.

After a minute...

Sam : Can I borrow your phone?
Dad : Why?
Sam : I'm going to show it to my friends. You need to share.

Independence Day

Sam: Mommy, don't follow me. I won't go far.

The days are long, but the years are short.
