The other day...
Andrew: "Mom, can I bring my skateboard in the house?"
Me: "No, you can't skate in the house, only outside."
Andrew: "But some people have skate parks in their houses."
Me: "That is true, but we don't"
Andrew: "Well, can't we build one in our house?"
Me: "We would need a lot of money to build a house that's big enough to have a skate park. Do you have enough money to build one?"
Andrew: "No."
Me: "Well, you better get a job and start saving all the money you earn."
Andrew: "I'm too young to get a job! I know! I will have a lemonade stand!"
(He revised his menu after learning that we didn't have any lemonade in the house.)
I lovelovelove that he is a problem solver and thinks creatively to come up with a solution.
