Waiting Game

Driving to the bank:

C:  I want some cantaloupe.
Me:  Do I have cantaloupe with me?
C:  No.
Me:  When did I say you could have some?
C:  When we get home.
Me:  Right.  We won't be out long.  Just wait a little.
C:  But I don't want to wait!
Me:  I think you'd be a happier person if you learned to have patience.
C: Hmmm...Momma?  I don't think I was made for patience.


*******


Me:  No one is really made for patience, but we all need it.
C:  Maybe some people are made for patience.
Me:  Like who?
C:  I know!  Girls named Patience are made for patience!!
Me:  Your name is Joy, but you're not particularly joyful.
C:  ...Oh.
