Peanut:  Mom, can I have another piece of Easter Candy?
Me:  No.
Peanut, squealing and stomping:  Why-y-y-y?
Me:  You didn't eat your dinner, and you already had a piece.
Peanut:  Moon had two pieces!
Me:  Moon ate his dinner.
Peanut:  Mom!  Please, can I just have one more piece?
Me:  I said no.
Peanut, whining even more:  I want one more piece of candy.  Please.  It's not fair.  I want another piece.
Me, at the end of my rope:  Fine.  You know what?  Eat whatever you want.  Eat all of your candy.  Go ahead.
Peanut, stomping off to his room, without candy:  Hmmph!
An hour later....
Peanut:  Mom, can I have a cookie?
Me:  I told you, eat whatever you want.
Peanut, exasperated:  Fine!  I'll just eat a carrot, then!
