What's something good that happened today?

At work, getting the story from a family about how their 8yr old pulled a knife on them and herself over the weekend

Me: I recommend securing all the sharps, you can get a locking plastic case if you want to still be able to keep them in the kitchen. Yknow, kids can be impulsive

The 9yr old: I’m not impulsive! You’re being over-dramatic!

Me: I didn’t say you, this applies to kids in general, and nice use of vocabulary

Me (what I wanted to say): You’re not impulsive? I just watched you break down and freak the F out for the past 10 straight minutes because your stepdad wouldn’t cook your pretzel right this very minute. But you’re not impulsive, no

Even if you win an argument with a 9yr old though, you still lose
