The last three mornings at breakfast Jeremy has gotten all whiny because his slippers falling off and his feet being cold. I suppose I should just help him put them back on, and I did that on the first day. But his slippers are the leather-soled sock kind with elastic fabrique above his ankle and there is no way they would just fall off with his feet dangling beneath the table. It is certainly possible that, as a small child who, like all small children, has trouble sitting still, his unconscious leg swinging and feet rubbing below the table could have caused a slipper to fall off once or twice. Yet, on each occasion he waited until both slippers were on the floor before crying about needing help putting them back on and I think the likelihood of both slippers falling off almost simultaneously on three consecutive days is highly unlikely. Call me callous, but I think it's a power game and I'm not playing along.
