"I Love You"

E can repeatedly say "i love you" to me over 50 times in barely 20 minutes. It definitely brings about an immense amount of heart warming emotion. But this little boy expects reciprocation. A standard reciprocation.

E " Mummy, i love you"
Me " Thanks, I hear you"

E " NO! This is wrong. You must say " I love you, son""

Me " oh Oh, I love you S-O-N"
E " No! Dont spell it, just say "i love you, son""
Me " Ok ok. I love you son"

E " I love you mummy"
Me " I love you Ethan"
E " No, dont call me Ethan, you can either say "son" or "cutie pie""
Me " but you are Ethan, aren't you?"
E " yes, but I am also your son!"

Me" Oh yes, I love you Cutie pie"

See his standard SOP? A real cutie isnt he?
