(This is a real conversation between myself and my son this evening while driving home.)


Mikey: Mama, I want to watch Sprout, okay?
Mommy: but I want to watch American Idol
Mikey: No mama, I want to watch Sprout
Mommy: but I want to watch American Idol, Mikey
Mikey: Maaamaaa, press 295 (Sprout's Channel on DirecTV)
Mommy: I want to watch American Idollll, Mikeyyyyy (just playing with him)
Mikey: No
Mommy: Why not?
Mikey: Because....
Mommy: Because what?
Mikey: Mama, No, I said

(I stopped talking. I was giggling deep inside. Oh, I think I say too much "Nos" to him.)
