Napkin for a month

Before he went to school and before he had put on his jacket to walk down the street the kid proclaimed that the paper towel he was using to wipe his face was good for the whole month.  He even pointed out the stain from the orange juice that he wiped off his face yesterday.

“Well. Yeah. It can last that long if you want it to”  I said.

I tried not to steer him away from using it again. Primarily because I’m not too concerned (he’ll forget about it in a day or two) and it’s not worth fighting a six year old over a piece of paper. We usually have a battle about something small and inconsequential each evening. So I’ll leave the paper towel out on his chair to help keep the self driven angst to a minimum.
