The Meek Shall Inherit...

Little DX approaches me, he has been at swimming lessons today and his soft fair skin has reddened. He has just told Big Daddy how bad he feels. Big Daddy has informed him that it is a sun burn.

DX- Mom I have a sun burn from swimming at the civic center.
Me - You did not swim at the civic center.
DX- Yes I did, we go to that civic center for swimming.
Me - No, you went to the civic center for story time. You go to someone's house for swimming lessons.
DX- Yea, well the civic center is the someone's house.

He bends his arms and slightly raises them, his hands do not even go above his head.....he says
DX- Aww (his says this very calm, lightly and really meek)

Again he raises his arms slightly reaching above his head

DX- see ma, Aww (again really meek, barely a sound, soo sickly)

I laugh....

Me- Sorry, but that is soo funny how you are dramatizing a sunburn.

DX leaves and runs to tell Big Daddy that mama just laughed at him.
BD- Why did she laugh at you?
DX is whining still meekly like he has been traumatized.
BD- Come see, come tell me what happened.

The drama will not cease, DX continues to whine as he makes his lip tremble and fakes a gasp for breath.

BD asks me what I have done to Little DX. I demonstrate to him how DX lightly lifted his arms and let out a pitiful moan. He laughs too, I walk out the door to go get some of the aloe plant.
