Not sure if this is the right place to post, but thought some of you might be able to relate to this one...

My DS7 was extremely upset about having to do some school work. He was on the verge of a complete meltdown. I was trying to soothe him and said in my most tender voice, "I need to know where these feelings are coming from...can you tell Mommy?" To which he replied, "I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure my hypothalamus."

I think maybe I'll stick with a hug the next time!
