Matt: "It's time to put on jammies."
W: "Don't say that!"
Matt: "Nope, buddy, it's jammy time."
W: "After we watch Monsters Inc."
Me: "Nope, no Monsters Inc. tonight."
W: "I don't like baths."
Matt: "You have to take them or else you'd be stinky and then you'd walk down the street and people would say 'here comes that stinky boy.'"
Me: "And you don't want people to say that about you. You want them to say 'what a nice boy!'"
W: "No, I want people to say 'what a mean boy!' I want to be a mean boy."
Me: "You're not a mean boy. Who are you mean to?"
W: "You."
Me: "You are? Well, I think you're nice."
W: "I don't love you."
Me: "That hurts my feelings. I don't think you mean that."
W: "Then can I watch Monsters Inc. now?"
Me: "Nope."
How quickly they learn. Too bad I'm not falling for it. I appreciate a good negotiation, I do. But, he'll figure out soon enough that I won't be manipulated. Nice try.
