Bargain

At about 9pm each day, we would go into the bedroom to change, read some story books and prepare for bedtime. Aiden will always bring some cars in with him. Until it reached the point where we limited him to a maximum of 10 cars. Last week, he decided to try his luck.

Aiden: I want to bring 11 cars into the room
Me: No, only 10 cars
Aiden: 11 cars?
Me: No.
Aiden: I want 10 cars!

After thinking for awhile...

Me: Ok, only if you can say 11 in Chinese
Aiden (after a short pause): 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 九 十 十一 ！

I couldn't help but smile and gave in to his request.
