Bjarki vs. Reality

[Written 01 February 2014]

Finnur picked Bjarki up from after-school-care this Friday afternoon, and it was immediately apparent that Bjarki was in a bad mood/hungry/tired/cranky/you name it-he had it.

They managed to go to the store to pick up dinner (sushi!) but by the time they got home they’d gotten into a tiff over whether Finnur’s parents’ summer house was in Reykjavík or Kópavogur.

Now, the correct answer is neither, but Bjarki wasn’t having it.  None of it.  Nip.  Nada.  Not believing a word you’re saying.  I reject your reality and substitute my own.  Thank you very much.

So after I hauled him into the house and got some food into his system, his dad sat him down and showed him the lay of the land on the computer.

Turned out all the siblings were interested…
