Everybody hates me

A Conversation with my Dude while he cries on the toilet

Dude: Everybody hates me! (sob, sob)

Me: Nobody hates you!

Dude:  Yes the do!  They don't love me too! (sob, sob, sob)

Me:  No, we all love you!

Dude: Everyone is sooo mean to me! (pouty lip, sob, sob)

Me:  Why is everyone mean to you?

Dude: They just are.  Nobody loves me. (pouty lip tear wipe, tear wipe)

Me:  You're being silly!

Dude: Do you love me? (goo-goo eyes filled with tears)

Me:  Of course I do!

Dude: Really? (sniffle)

Me: Of course, why do you think that nobody loves you?

Dude: Cuz they won't help me. (sniffle, sniffle)

Me: That's silly.  Mommy loves you.  Mommy will help you.  What do you need help with?

Dude: Wipe my butt?

Don't tell Hubby, but yes I did it.  Sometimes love is wiping a 5 year olds butt.
