Got an insight into the emotional life of a toddler in the car tonight.
Sophia: (taking a break from singing with great gusto "Close Every Door to Me") Why is Joseph so sad? Because his brothers took his coat and threw him in a hole and took him to Egypt and put him in jail?
Me: I think that must have made him pretty sad and angry and frustrated, too.
Sophia: I feel just like Joseph when you tell me "No!"...
(Explains a lot. Perspective comes at what age?)
