I don't mean to offend you...

As we drive around the lake I point out a sailboat. There's just something about a sail boat that calms me. They look so peaceful and fun.

"Look at the beautiful sailboat out there," I point out to Calvin.

"I see it, but I don't mean to make you not happy, but it's not that beautiful. It's kind of plain and boring." says Calvin.

Has my six year old already mastered the concept of "I don't mean to offend you but I completely disagree."?

He has. But he was right, I prefer the brightly colored sails too rather than the boring white sail on this particular sail boat.
