Little man

Dominic microwaved a plateful of taquitos for lunch. "Lunch is ready! There's enough here for everyone," he called out.
"Oh good," I said. "I'm hungry."
"There's enough here for everyone except Mommy," he responded.
Concerned about my feelings, Samuel said, "Don't worry, Mom. Dad's just being ornery."

Samuel sounds more like an adult than a 6-year-old sometimes. Sometimes he still acts his age. This is a self-portrait.
