Alas, Poor Sheridan.
We got up this morning to go see the autistic friendly showing of How To Train Your Dragon. We drove half an hour, only to discover that they had already sold out when we got their. Rowan didn't know what was going on, so she didn't care, but Sheridan was very unhappy. So we decided, since we were already out for the morning, to go to one of those places that have inflatable slides and bouncy playgrounds. This cheered him up...until we got there and discovered they had a party going on and no non guests were permitted.
Now he was truly devastated.
We decided to throw in the towel, and go to Lowes and get the carpet steamer so the day wouldn't be a total loss. Needless to say, he didn't see it the same way we did. While sitting out in the car and waiting for Karla to show back up with the steam cleaner, he pronounced that today was "the worst day in his entiire life." I asked him if it could possibly get any worse. He thought about that seriously for a minute and concluded, "maybe if my eyeballs were to pop out." Ah, six year olds...
Well, at least some carpets got cleaned, though there will be more to clean tomorrow.
Poor little guy!! What a disappointment for a six-year old. I love his thoughtful response, though. That really puts it on the scale of how bad a day it was.
ReplyDeleteI felt so bad for him, not to mention feeling like the worst parent in the entire world. I made very sure to get the hours to that carnival for next weekend, and barring a hurricane I intend to take him.
