Show and Tell

At his new school, BH has to participate in Show and Tell.

This is a new concept to him and being unfamiliar, he already decided before the event that he did not like it nor did he want to do it.

For two days straight we tried to explain what Show and Tell involved and how exciting it could be.

For two days straight including the morning of, the fussing about not wanting to do Show and Tell was made very clear to us.

I happened to be home on Thursday - you guessed it, the day of Show and Tell - and went with Papa to drop BH to school.

We convinced him to take a train to school but told him that he did not 'have' to do Show and Tell.

Now pay attention because this is how BH tricks us (a little Show and Tell display of my own):

As soon as he got into the school, the teacher saw his train in hand and asked if that was for Show and Tell.

For a second, I thought to myself, "oh no Lady, you do not want to ask about that because you are going to be witness to a fit."

I could not even think the words fast when BH blurted out, "yes".

Hold on.

What?

Did that kid just say "yes" as in "yes" he brought a train for Show and Tell? When just mere minutes before he was adamant that he 'boring' the Show and Tell?

...Dare I say the obvious?

::sigh::

Fine.

He showed us.
