My son did not really want to wake up for daycare today, and on the way there he expressed his disinterest in a Monday morning. I told him things were even worse for adults, and attempted to explain to him what happens during work meetings, the fake talking and the pretentious attitudes. I tried to explain how everyone gathers around the table and sits down, pretends to like each other for the first 35 seconds, and then attempts to outdo each other in ideas or long winded platitudes . This may have been a bit heavy for a 4 year old, but he seemed to grasp the concept.
He said to me, “daddy why don’t you get under the table in bang your head on it.”
When I said that sounds like a good idea, I saw him thinking. Then he said, “actually don’t, that will hurt”
Maybe. . Or maybe less.
