Slippery...
Outside Jason's school, there was a large patch of ice. I slipped and told the children "Be careful, 'cause it's very slippery and I fell on the ice already".
Jason responded as quick as he could: "Well, mommy, you've got to learn how to skate"....

You've got to wiggle!
Jason is taking swimming classes at the Y. In his class, there are about 5-6 children with one teacher. As a result, when he has to wait his turn and the water was a little cold, he would start crying.
I told him to be brave, that he shouldn't give up swimming and that he should keep on moving when he's cold. "Just wiggle your arms and legs..." I told him "and you will feel better".
The week after, we went back to the swimming pool.
There was a little girl sitting on the side of the pool, whining because the water was cold.
Jason approached her and advised very seriously: "You've got to wiggle!".

Sharing your knowledge
Jason went to the public library and met a little boy his age.
"Hi", he said. "My name is Jason. What's your name?".
The boy - a little shy, didn't say anything.
So, Jason continued: "My telephone number is 201 385 1356 .... ".
