Mr L came into our room yesterday while Mom was cleaning.
"I wanna play the Wii!" he announced.
Mom said, simply, "No."
"How 'bout now?", the toddler asked, immediately after Mom's Denial.
"No."
"How 'bout... now?"
"No."
"How 'bout.... now?"
"No."
This exchange went on for about 5 minutes. Finally Mr. L decided to change tactics.
"I wanna play Smash Brothers." choosing to ask for a particular title instead of the system as a whole.
"No." was Mom's continued reply.
"I wanna play Wario!" exclaimed Mr. L, choosing now a character in the game.
"No."
"I wanna play RED Wario!"
"No"
"I wanna play GREEN Wario!"
"No"
"I wanna play YELLOW Wario!"
"No."
This exchange went on for another 5 minutes, the toddler going through every color he could think of.
Finally, after exhausting all his options, Mr L finally asked in frustration "Well why not???"
Watching this exchange I started chuckling at about the third "No", by the time he uttered "Well, why not?" I was laughing so hard I almost fell off the bed.
