Sorry

I spilled iced tea on Austin's magnetic letters and the following dialog occurred:

Me: Oh wait Austin don't pick up that letter I have to dry it off I spilled tea on it.
A: Say you're sorry.
Me: To the letters?
A: No to me, they are my letters.
Me: Austin I am sorry that I spilled tea on your letters.
A: Okay Mommy I accept your apology.

My thoughts: really, did I just have to apologize to some plastic letters that are the source of many long discussions on why it is important to pick up your toys so that you do not break your mother's neck?????? Yes, but as Kirsten reminded me, this just goes to show that we are teaching him manners. Aha!
