The other day while sitting at a red light, I told the kids we had to turn left. Here is how my conversation went with Peter:
Peter: Mom, which way is left.
me: You’ll see when we turn. Which way do you think it is?
Peter: It’s the way we will turn.
me: Well, which way do you think we will turn?
Peter: left
I gave up at this point, knowing I would get nowhere with the conversation. It reminded me too much of another conversation with Peter. He should be a lawyer!
Next time, stop the car (if necessary) and ask him to point the direction.
