David (for reasons only known to him) started pretending to be blind today. He told Daniel, "I can't see! My eyes don't work anymore. I'm blind!" Daniel offered to fix him. David asked how he could fix him, and without hesitating, Daniel plucked at his own eyes and gave them to David, saying, "Here - you can have my see." Thinking that our son was incredibly selfless, David said, "Daniel, what are you going to do now that you can't see?!" Daniel said, "I'm going to take Mommy's see" and he ran over and plucked at my eyes.
David said, "Daniel! Now Mommy can't see! How will she make us dinner?!" (Do you like how that's his first concern?) Daniel said, "Well, I don't know. I can see though, and you can see. Mommy's the only one that can't see." David said, "Well, maybe I'll give Mommy my see." Daniel said, "No! Just you and me can see. Mommy just can't see anymore." And he was content to leave it at that.
So much for being selfless!
