B-O-R-I-N-G

Last night the boys got to bed to late to read a story so I thought I'd settle them down telling them a made-up story with the lights off. I put on my very slow and sing-song voice ("It's not what you say, it's how you say it") and begin:

"Once upon a time. A long time ago in a land where the sun always shines and it's never dark..."

Conor then says: "Dad. This story is B-O-R-I-N-G boring."

Hmm. Not sure what's worse. That I'm boring, or that my 6 yr old thinks he needs to literally spell it out for me. "Become as a little child?" Certainly would be a very honest place :P
