Yesterday as Ryan and I were driving to swim Ryan and I discussed the word selfish. It went like this...
Ryan: Mommy, why are Max and Monty selfish? (Max and Monty are dump trucks on Thomas)
Me: Because they don't care about anyone else or how their actions can hurt someone else they just do what they want to do. They ran someone off the road and didn't even stop to help.
Ryan: What does selfish mean?
Me: Selfish is when you only think about yourself. You want what you want and you don't care about other people. It's thinking what people can do for you not what you can do for them.
Ryan: Oh Mommy, I'm not selfish. I'm not selfish because I'm always thinking about yoouuuuuu!
He said "you" in such and intense dramatic whisper. It was too funny. It's also kinda sad because one day some silly girl is going to fall for his smooth talk.
