20 Percent
Isaac has been, since his earliest days, a kid that likes to do whatever it is that he is currently doing. We call him inertia kid, because, like Isaac Newton's First law of motion states, once he is doing something he wants to keep doing that thing. It has made getting ready for things early in the morning, like school or soccer, very hard to do.
Recently we were running a few minutes behind schedule and I was cajoling Isaac to go to karate when I told him "Isaac I feel like I spend 20% of my life saying 'Let's Go!'" Without missing a beat he snapped back at me: "Dad, I feel like I spend 20% of my life rolling my eyes at you!"
Bam...I lost an argument, in pretty decisive fashion to my quite witty five year old.
