Sigh. \u00a0This child&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the truck, after dropping off two of the boys for jujitsu, \u00a0with just Max and Jordan, I said, &#8220;<em>Thanks for saying thank you for your lunches today<\/em>!&#8221; \u00a0Rather than the usual boring sandwich, I went to Wendy&#8217;s and got the boys a spicy chicken meal for a change of pace. \u00a0Max said, &#8220;<em>Thank you<\/em>&#8221; \u00a0Then a few minutes later he looked at me, with puzzlement on his face&#8230; &#8220;<em>Why is it so important to you that we say thank you?<\/em>&#8221; \u00a0So I replied that I was rushing around and took time out to bring them a special lunch and it makes me feel happy to know they appreciated it. \u00a0He looked at me&#8230; and said, &#8220;<em>OK?
