On Sunday evening, during dinner, I introduced the concept of optimists and pessimists. I talked about what the two perspectives mean and how they are different, then I challenged each person to choose to be optimistic at least once this coming week.
Yesterday I read the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day to Cooper, Phoebe, and Sophie. Peter was downstairs doing homework. About halfway through the book, the following exchange took place.
Peter: (from the other room) He's being the opposite of an optimist!
(Cooper and Phoebe made sounds of agreement.)
Me: That's right, he is. And what is the opposite of an optimist called?
Peter: (in all seriousness) A therapist!
