But it makes me happy...

Conversation with Jack at Walmart yesterday:

Jack (walking around with a pink and purple Dora backpack with flashing pink heart on his back): But I just love Dora backbag. It's the best backbag ever in the world.

Me: But, sweetie, you already have a backpack for school, we don't need the Dora one. Remember, you have Thomas?

Jack: But it makes me happy.

Me: (trying to choke back laughter) I know, baby, but we have to save it for someone else starting school who doesn't have a backpack. It'll make them very happy.

Jack: Ok. But you put it back...I just can't do it.
 
So dramatic.  Don't get me wrong, if he didn't already have a backpack for school, it would've been his.  But, I just do not have the space for 2 of everything right now.
