The opposite of reverse-reverse psychology.

Conversation between me and my 4-year-old yesterday morning:

4-year-old: Mom, can I paint?

Me: Sure you can…right after I clear away the breakfast dishes. Wanna help?

4-year-old: Okay.

Me: Thanks. I appreciate it. How about a hug?

4-year-old: Uh…. No.

Me: What? No hug? Why not?

4-year-old (breezily): Well, you’ll just have to wait until bedtime. Sorry!

Me: Oh c’mon. Just one hug.

4-year-old: Nope.

Me: Please? Pretty please?

4-year-old (still breezy and sing-songy): Uh-oh… Sorry, Mom… I can’t hear you… You’re whining…

    If you hate these things, ignore it, but I just tagged you for a meme.

    I’m not sure how a meme works. Can you give me instructions? Thanks. :)

    Sure, sorry. For this one, you post 7 random things about yourself. Then you tag 7 folks to do the same. Poppins put one up and tagged me. I put one up and tagged you. I only tagged 3 people, though. I don’t have many blogs I visit often. I did not tag Amimental thinking you might tag her yourself.

    Silly? Yes. Fun? Yes. Mine is up if you wanna see it. K
