Do as I do, not as I say

My son came with me to work yesterday (on "Bring you son and daughter to work day"). On the way over he said he was going to play games on his laptop the whole day. After about 15 minutes of paying attention in my Staff Meeting he did start play games, but then we took off for an Eco Responsibility presentation. After lunch I started working and he watched me (for about one second) and then he was back on his laptop.

An hour later when I looked over his shoulder I saw he was writing a paper for school.

Often my son says things that frustrate me...but he is a very good person. Sometimes I describe his behavior as "Do as I do, not as I say".
