He Has An Idea

Yesterday was a gorgeous day, so Jack and I went to the park. There we made a new little friend whose name is Christian, Jack called him JoJo (I don't know so please don't ask:)) he will be referred to as JoJo from here out.
JoJo was 5 and quite the chatter box, he was very proud of himself for being taller than Jack at 2.5:) they were playing great, chasing each other, climbing the slides and riding down the fire pole. JoJo liked to pull Jack down the slide, and Jack thought he was 'rescuing' him. Finally he didn't want to do that anymore and said "Mommy, you help JoJo, you push him!"
Anyways, the play went on for awhile when 2 other boys, also 5 year olds came to play. JoJo wanted to expand his circle, but Jack didn't want to 'share' his new friend. He tried getting him away from the boys, even saying things like "JoJo, you Jack's friend!" JoJo would turn to me every once in awhile and say, "I have no idea what he's saying," odd, I thought, I understand everything he says;)
Finally, you could see Jack's wheels turning in his head, and he runs to me asking for my firetruck (Jack and I each have one specific one most places we go, and NOONE is allowed to touch them besides us). He asked for my firetruck and gave it to JoJo, Bribing him to be his friend! Where does he learn these things?! Well, it worked, and they were playing together again. All the sudden Jack yells "I have an idea" and runs to the hills (this is normal) JoJo started chasing him and I asked where they were going, JoJo turns to me and says "He has an idea!" (in a duhh type of way). Little did he know that Jack's real idea was bribery and getting a friend all to himself:)
