Cuddlebug wanted to paint which is great but it's almost dinner time, so I asked him, "how about coloring instead?"
He got upset, apparently that was not an acceptable option. "I AIN'T gonna color!! I have to PAINT!" (he likes to say "ain't" when he's being particularly defiant, as if that accentuates his point).
So I responded, "Well if you're going to paint, make sure you don't make a mess."
"But painting always makes a mess!" he protested.
"Then make sure you clean it up." Seems reasonable to me.
He sighs. "I'll just color."
LOL, I guess it just wasn't worth it if he had to clean up his own mess...

Wow, I do believe you won that one. It is possible! I now have hope! :)
These are the kind of exchanges I look forward to someday... =)
Oh how I long for the day that reasoning will work here at the pond! Hope he found some enjoyment in the coloring :0)
@debbie - LOL, I think I did! :-)
