Telling it like it is.
Ben’s car registration sticker came in the mail recently. Last night, he told Sami that it was a sticker for his car, and that they’d make a project of putting the sticker on his car together.
This morning, Ben left for work, and Sami grabbed the DMV envelope off the table and ran after him crying, “I WANTED TO DO THE STICKER WITH DADDY ON HIS CAAAAAARRRRR!” Oh, my heart broke for her, she was so, so sad. He was down the block and around the corner by the time we got outside to see if we could wave him down.
I called Ben, and he said that they’d made a time-specific date (after work, after dinner!) which Sami apparently forgot. I told him I’d relay this, and also pass along his disappointment that she’d forgotten to write it in her calendar. (I did, and she said approximately, WTF?) Anyway, they’re doing it this evening, and everyone is happier now.
Sami made sure I did not hang up before she explained what had happened: “I got mad at Daddy. Then I cried.”

Very nice. I am always humbled by the lessons I learn from from very young little people.
I needed Sami to remind me to put on my registration sticker. Maybe then I wouldn’t have lost it!
