My Body Made Me

Sometimes Oliver likes go excuse his behavior by blaming it on his body.  My body made me burp . . or something like that.
It's been a while since he has excused his behavior by blaming it on his body until today.  We bought a Mater truck for Oliver on the condition that he did some chores to earn it.  He got the package today and was "looking at it."  I went away for a little bit and when I came back he said, Mom, I'm sorry, but my body made me open the package a little bit.  Hmm . . . We have a book about being the boss of your body.  It is more to do with staying away from molesters, BUT it works as a reminder that you are the boss of your body.
Speaking of the Mater toy - what a rip off!  We didn't look closely enough apparently and somehow we thought it was a big truck.  But it's not.  It is like a little car only slightly bigger than a Matchbox car.  And we paid $25 for it.  Yes, you press a button and he talks and his headlight goes on, but really??  I wouldn't have even paid $10 for it, had I seen it in person.  But I didn't.  Thank heavens we will soon be in America and shopping at WalMart (or other stores) in person and not so dedicated to Amazon.
