Hehehehe... sounds familiar. Tamsin likes to lead off with "So here's the deal..."

So, what does doing everything Alex wants entail?

Hee. I think that was pretty much her equivalent of "when hell freezes over." She did follow it up with the suggestion that she wasn't going to let me cut her nails unless I let her have sushi every night.

She's going to have awfully long fingernails... perhaps you should show her that photo from the Guiness Book of World Records?

Hahaha! That rocks!!! I wish I could have sushi every night too! :D

Maybe you should threaten not to cut your nails anymore until you get it.

She's going to have awfully long fingernails...

No she isn't. They're cut now. *grin*

I showed her the pictures, but it backfired. She thinks they're cool, and Michael and I were totally squicked out.

Aaaaah... I'm a nailbiter. Poop. Maybe I could threaten to hold my breath until I die?

Elena tonight at dinner (I don't need to mention that she said this in an incredibly whiny voice, right?): "But I want what I waaaaaaaaaaant." Yup, but you're gonna eat the food I cooked anyway.

*laughing* I'm glad this time the side of Tall and Older People has won.

Let's not ever put our children together in one place, I have a feeling they would form some kind of criminal masterminds organization fuelled by the egocentrism of kindergarteners and the world would be doomed.

Yesterday's comment from my older son, "But mommy, I have no choice but to shout, my teacher has been making me whisper all week and my body is entirely filled up with shouting I have not used."

That's how one negotiates, right? Start with the impossible and work down to the reasonable. I'm not sure she has the whole concept yet, though.

She has a bright future writing shrink-wrap licenses.
