Cedar is a famous robot...

So I had to have a long conversation with Cedar tonight about being nice. He had one of his best friends over to play and he was generally unkind to him. I decided it was time to have a talk and we were stuck in the care returning a movie so he couldn't get away from me. At some point in the conversation I asked Cedar why he thought it was okay for him to be unkind to people. He said "I'm famous." I said, "what?" Cedar replied by explaining that everyone at school knew who he was. And, unfortunately, he's right. Everyone does know him and consequently he gets away with murder...sometimes. He then preceded to tell me that he didn't like the way I was controlling him. He said, "I'm like a robot and you are my controller." He is so smart and socially savvy. And, so cute. I love the kid but he is a tough pickle. We are going to work very hard on being nice. And perhaps I will try to be less controlling.
