Despite My Best Efforts

Scene: Mom has just returned from preschool conference, where she is all a-glow from the fabulous report she's received on her 4 year old. Said 4 year old is coloring at the table and Mom decides to spread the joy.

M: Grant, I just went to your preschool conference.

G: Why?

M: To hear how you're doing. Miss Cheri says you are an awesome friend and that you share really well.

G: Yeah.

M: I'm really proud of you. It makes Mommy feel really good to know that you're being a good friend and that you are doing such a great job sharing and using your words and asking questions. I think you're an awesome kid. (hugs him)

G: (somewhat muffled) Can I have some money?
