Mr. Drama

I was putting on shoes while sitting on my bed one afternoon while Toren watched.  On my night stand were my soccer cleats.  Toren asked if I wanted to wear my cleats instead of my other shoes.  When I told him that I only wore my cleats to play soccer, he said he wanted cleats.  I then told him he was too little to have cleats, but when he got a little older and could play soccer on a team I’d buy him some.  Here’s how he reacted:

How do kids learn to be so manipulative?  I still didn’t buy him cleats, but boy is he good at displaying disappointment!
