Tonight we were putting Andy to bed, reading him his nightly three stories. He always gets wild when he comes running out of the shower naked and jumps all over his mattress, so it takes a while for him to come down off his high.

We finished the third story and he looked at me and asked, "Can we read another book, Mommy?"

Me: "No."

Andy: "Why?"

Me: "Because it's time for bed."

Andy: "Can you say that again Mommy?"

Me: "Because it's time for bed."

Andy: "No, say 'no' again."

Me: "No."

Andy: "Well then....I'll just have to read another book myself!"
