Nice~

I don't know if it's because we are in the month of love but I had an interesting conversation with the kids tonight over hot chocolate.
Dylan: Mom why do boys HAVE to be nice to girls and do things for them?
Mom: Well boys are supposed to be nice to girls.
Dylan: But why?
Sophie: Because girls are the best!
Mom: Boys are good too.
Dylan: But why do you have to do things for them?
Mom: Well because it's nice to do things for others.
Sophie: Like I feel proud of myself when I give someone something that I was playing with.
Mom: Yes! It's great to feel good inside isn't it...
Dylan: But I understand that boys are stronger and can reach things girls can't but why do you have to do things for them?
Mom: You just do....You know how happy it makes me when daddy does all of the laundry.
Sophie: Nodding..
Dylan: Smiling..
Mom: When someone does something nice for you and then it makes you want to do something nice to someone else.
Dylan: Like when I had to bend down and reach the baby wipes underneath the bed for you because when girls get older like you they can't bend down and reach things.
Mom: (thinking) Poor boy he has to live with a mom that has RA that doesn't want to bend down and I call on him all the time to get things for me. Should I stop calling on him so much? No! It will make him a great husband....(done thinking)
Mom: Yes that's right, it makes you feel good doesn't it?
Sophie: Loud Burp!
Mom: Laughing!
Dylan: Laughing and rolling!
Mom: It's bedtime!
