The art of compromise

Me:  Get dressed.
Peanut:  No!  I am NOT going to school!
Me:  Yes you are.  Get dressed.
Peanut:  No I am not.
Me:  Yes you are.  Get dressed.
Peanut:  NO!  I'm not going.
Me:  Do you remember what happened with lacrosse?
Peanut:  Yes.  But I'm not going to school.
Me:  You are.  If I have to throw you over my shoulder again, you're going.  Now, if you'd prefer not to go to school naked, I suggest you get dressed.
Peanut:  Fine.  I'll go.  But I am NOT wearing underwear.
Me:  Fair enough.
