The other day, Benny was driving and I was sitting beside him. 
Timmy sat at the back of the car and he requested to sit with me. 
It has been a while that Timmy requested that I sit with him at the back, while Benny was driving.
This time, we decided that he should learn to take turns. 
The following conversation occurred: 
Tim: Mom I want to sit with you. 
Me: Tim, we take turns ok. Sometimes Mama sits at the back with you, sometimes Mama sits at the front with Papa. 
Tim: But Mom, I like you best. I wanna be with you. 
Me: No Tim, this time Mama sits at the front. Next time, I will sit with you at the back. 
Tim: Oh..
Me: How would you feel if you were driving and both Mama and Papa sit at the back, leaving you alone at the front?
Tim: Sad. 
Me: So, Papa would be sad too if Mama sits at the back with you leaving him at the front alone. We take turns ok. 
Timmy was quiet for a while, then he came up with the following: 
Tim: Dad, how would you feel if you want to be with Mommy and I said No? 
Dad: Sad. 
Tim: So, I'm sad too when I want to be with Mommy and you said No. 
(I was about to laugh out loud when he came up with that arguments. It was hard to held my laugh. I was surprised.)
