Happy bonding on Father's Day
There is always a fit when Sophia loses Clash Royale. When she gets annoyed, she will make sure I get annoyed, too. So, she either throws her cellphone - or herself - on the ground. That always worked.
Finally, I had that clashy-thingy game uninstalled from her iPhone. I said (as if in a corporate scenario), "it is recurrent and an 'issue'... It ruins relationships." I also made this car rule - no looking on any of our gadgets (except navigation. Haha.) "Go focus your eyes outside the window and read some signs," I strongly 'advised'.
Read signs. That is another issue. She cannot read because she had become nearsighted (which is another story).
Sophia, as always, complied without hesitation. She is a good girl. Sans the Clash Royale losses and those silly tantrums, she is my one Happy Girl . . . even happier when "photo-bonding" with her Daddy.
Happy Father's Day!
Sophia: "Hey, Daddy! How about a game of Clash Royale?"
Daddy: "Later... I'm doing Fantasy Sports."
Sophia: "Oh, come on, Daddy! Just once! Please!!!"
Daddy: "Alright."
The game starts and progresses...
Sophia: "Oh, no! I'm losing, Daddy!!! Play it! Play it! Help!!!"
Daddy: "That's alright. We can start over."
Sophia: "No!!! I losing! I don't want to lose!"
Daddy: "I said that's ok."
Sophia: "Nooooooooo!!!"
Daddy stops watching and looks away.
Sophia (pouting): "Okay, Daddy. I lost."
Daddy (still quiet)
Sophia: "Oh, well... I think I'm better off with My Singing Monsters. Here, Daddy, listen... It's cool sound."
Daddy: "A game is just a game. If you lose, it's not the end of the world. There's always another try."
Sophia: "Understood, Daddy."
Sophia: "Understood, Daddy."
Daddy: "Did you win in My Singing Monsters . . . that's why you're doing a Happy Dance?
Sophia: "No, Daddy. I won in Clash Royale!!!"
