My boy collects match attax. Need a job doing? For a pack of match attax it’ll be sorted. Need a room tidying – it costs a packet. Gets his spellings all right, another packet. You get the picture.
Tonight we needed to have the stranger danger chat. A man exposed himself yesterday outside his school to parents and children. As we walked home from school tonight I asked Dyl what he would do if a stranger started talking to him. He gave all the right answers and said it’s not rude to ignore a stranger etc.
I decided to really test him. ‘What if they offered match attax?’ I challenged.
‘Ignore ‘he replied
‘What if it were two packets?’
‘Ignore’ he said
‘What if it were ten packs?’
‘Well I’d ignore because I’d get them anyway’ he reasoned.
Puzzled I asked what what he meant.
‘well he replied if I got offered ten packs and still said no – you’d be really pleased with me and buy me the ten anyway!’
I guess he is right! He just makes me smile with how quick he responds with these thoughts!

You just can’t argue with that logic, can you?! Good boy though 🙂
Oh that is reassuring.
That’s a very clever, safe boy right there!!
