Raising my children to have low expectations

January 14th, 2009

This morning, after spending a few hours doing an overhaul in Christian’s room (changing sheets, dusting, throwing out stuff he’ll never remember but would swear he needs on a daily basis if asked, etc.) I told Max to come and take a look.

“Oh my gosh!” he exclaimed, “You did that so fast!” (He’s very exuberant and complimentary; that’s why I invited him in.)

“Thanks,” I said. “Take a look in the closet.”

He opened the closet.

“Oh my gosh! It’s like a miracle!”

Really? A miracle?

“Thanks,” I said.

“Mom, can you make a miracle in my room?”

Well, I guess. When you put it that way.
