Maturity

This morning when leaving swimming lessons Andy was having trouble following directions. He would delibrately go the wrong way or play with things, etc.

Alex decided after the 10th or 20th time I'd said, "Andy, stay with us." That he'd had enough.

Alex said, "Andrew James, you are acting very immature. You are not a baby. You know that Mommy said we have to leave and she's told you more than three times. If you don't come with us right now, I'm not going to let you play with any of my toys for the rest of the day."

Andy followed. He didn't want to, but he followed.
