Tenaciously fickle

Todd's been rusty at writing his ABCs, so earlier this week, Oma set him to the task of practicing writing them again. She gave him some leads to follow. But when she wrote out a capital "C", she put a little vertical line on the top of the curve.

Todd immediately took offense to that. When she told him that one should draw the line when making a capital C, he shrieked, very insistently, "NO, YOU DON'T!!!"

Fast forward to today, when I spoke with him on the phone. What do you suppose he told me?

"I'm writing letters today. On the top of the 'C' there is a line!"

Naturally, I tried to reassure him: "Oh, you don't have to write it"

Oh, but Toddy would have none of that, for the next thing I knew, I got a very loud and insistent earful: "YES, YOU DO!!!!"

Boy, when he sticks to something, he sure sticks tenaciously! Now... make up your mind, kid :-P
