Deciding where to go this morning with her seven-year-old sister:

7YO: Let's go to a museum.

ME: It's nice day. I think we should do something outside. Central Park?

4YO: But I don't want to go to a museum!

ME: I know, I just said we're going to do something outside.

4YO: But I don't want to go to a museum!

ME: Listen to me. We. Are. Doing. Something. Outside. Not the museum. I've said it twice now.

4YO: No, you didn't. You said it three times.
