Deux: Arrrghhh!
Duchess: Stop that, Deux! You are so picky!
Deux: I can't help it, Dash is being so annoying!
QOC: What are you doing, Dash?
Dash: I'm putting on my coat.
QOC: Well, Deux, if someone is not trying to bother you and it won't cause you permanent harm, it's best to just ignore it. Life is much smoother that way.
Deux: I can't ignore it when it bothers me!
QOC: The trick is to think about something else. Like how many prime numbers there are smaller than 100.
Deux: How many prime numbers smaller than 100 . . . most odd numbers are primes . . . except the ones that end in five, like 15, 25, 35, 45 . . . .
Duchess: Arrrrrgh!

Haha. Except it's only kind of funny. Actually, it's funny only on a blog. It's no fair that the only person who really, truly exercises patience is the mom who has to referee all that.

The fact that you have a kid who likes prime numbers is sweet.
The "think of prime numbers" thing is BRILLIANT! I must try that!
Teaching kids what TO do in a difficult situation is the hardest part of parenting for me. It so much easier to tell them what NOT to do. Kudos!
