emotional intelligence

Scene: Thursday night, in the garden.

Monroe spots her slide (hidden at the end of the garden so that she can't see it from the living room, otherwise we'd never have a moment's peace.)

Monroe: Slide!

Mommy: Slide? You want to slide?

Monroe: Slide.

Mommy: Okay, I'll go get it Monroe, wait here.

I heft the plastic lawn toy out in front of me and hobble along the stone path. I set it down with a big groan.

Monroe: Good job!!
