Today Lance and Liam were invited by friends to go to the Science Museum. We don't go there often and Lance has really been wanting to go. Of course I said yes to the offer without even asking the boys. When told of the offer Lance was excited, Liam did not want to go.
Lance asked Liam why he didn't want to go and Liam said he didn't know why, he just didn't. Lance told him that was not good enough and he explained it this way.
"You don't have to have a reason why you want to go to the museum, but you have to have a reason why you don't want to go. It is like smiling, you don't have to have a reason to have a smile, but you have to have a reason why you have a frown on your face."
I liked the way that he explained this to Liam.
Liam decided that he didn't have a reason not to go and he went to the museum. They had a great time and we thank our friends for taking them.

So smart! I bet there are more than a few adults in the world that could learn from Lance's way of thinking.
