I’m woken up every morning by a two-year old who wants
food. And he wants it now. That isn't the only thing my two-year old or
my three-year old want right now.
Anything they want, they want it now.
Right now. A few days ago while I
was cooking dinner, they were fussing about how long it was taking. I admonished them by saying, “You’re acting
like children”. Of course, this didn't have much impact on them, since they are children. What exactly was I expecting?

But, beyond that they simply don’t have patience, there are
two lessons I take from this.
