The perfect body is unattainable

Jack loves to build robots. He has made his tricycle, a rocking chair, a hat, a toy camera, and more into robots. I came home yesterday, and he had turned my entire dresser into a robot. Last night before bed he wanted to make one more robot but was stressing about it. I asked Sarah to help him find a body for this robot.


S: "How about this?" 


J (sobbing): "No!" 

S: "Why not?" 


J: "Because it's not perfect!" 


S: "How about this?" 


J: "No!" 


S: "This?"

J: "No!"

(etc, etc, etc)


S: "Well, what do you want to use then?" 


J: "I DON'T KNOW!!"


And then he fell in a heap on the floor and cried. Being four is so hard.
