Many minutes of silence as Jacob plays in his room and I read about Keating Five for roughly the thousandth time in my life time. Then the following exchange happened to my surprise and amusement.
Jacob: (yelling from his room) Ugh....you lost it!!!
Me: Huh?
Jacob: Where is this piece!?
Me: Jacob, I don't know what you are talking about
Jacob: (comes out of room) This!!
Me: Thats a K'nex piece
Jacob: I know, you lost it!
Me: Its in your hand Jacob
Jacob: I know that. I'm very mad at you!! (tears)
Me: Why? What did I do?
Jacob: I thought you lost it!!
Me: ...But I didn't...you have it in your hand
Jacob: Why did you lose it?
Me: I didn't lose it....you have it.
Jacob: Err...I'm very mad at you
*storms off*
Several minutes later....
Jacob: Where is it!!!??
Me: In your hand
Jacob: Not that one...the other one!!
Me: (Goes into room) The other piece like that one?
Jacob: Yes, you lost it. I'm very disappointed in you.
Me: (Looks around) Jacob, its on your dresser
Jacob: (Grabs piece, begins playing without incident)
Me: Jacob, don't you have something to say to me since you were mean?
Jacob: Yes, don't lose my Knex pieces ever again
Me: I think you should say that you are sorry for being mean to me for no reason.
Jacob: But you lost my stuff...and that makes me sad.
Me: ....but I didn't lose your stuff.
Jacob: Then where is it?
Me: Look Jacob, a cookie
