My Son, The Spirit of Generosity.

Younger Son (enthusing over a friend who sent us a gift): (Friend) is awesome, isn't he mummy? Let's give him all our Christmas presents. When they're old. Shall we do that? Because he's awesome?

But I Thought You Loved Your Brother...

Older Son: Five children is a lot to look after, isn't it mummy? I think five children would be too many.
me: Mm. What do you think would be the best number then?
Older Son (after a moment's consideration, and happily): Two!
Younger Son (loudly and abruptly): One.

Well Nobody Likes That.

When asked why he felt it necessary to wake his brother early this morning...
Older Son: I wanted to go downstairs but if (Younger Son) woke up after me and came down and made a noise around the corner I would get a shock. (pause) And I do not like to get a shock.
