Another in the series of comparing and contrasting my children (see part 1, part 2 and part 3)
-------------------------------------
Me: Jackson, do you want me to sign you up for soccer again?
Jackson: What?
Me: Do you want to do soccer class again?
Jackson: Why?
Me: Because I want to know whether I should register you again in the fall.
Jackson: It's up to you.
Me: But I'm asking if you want to.
Jackson: If you want me to.
Me: I want to know whether you would like to.
Jackson: What do you think?
Me: I want your opinion.
Jackson: About what?
Me: About doing soccer next year?
[Jackson wanders out of room]
Me: Jackson, we were in the middle of the conversation.
Jackson: What are we talking about?
Me: Soccer class? whether you want to continue?
Jackson: I already told you.
Me: No you didn't
Jackson: Yes I did!
Me: No, I'm waiting to hear what YOU want.
Jackson: I said you could decide.
Me: But I want to know what you think.
Jackson: Why do we have to discuss this for HOURS???!!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: Sydney, do you want to do hip hop next year?
Sydney: No.
Me: Why?
Sydney: First, I like to play monkey bars after school instead of rushing off to dance. Second, because I find it too hard. Third, because I don't like performing in front of a lot of people.

Cute. I can guess which one I'd rather cook dinner for, and which one I'd rather have cook dinner for me!
