Negotiation Central

Our kids don't understand the word 'no'. They think every 'no' is 'maybe', or 'no now, but ask me again and you'll get a different answer".

Today Emmy wanted a cookie (Vanilla Wafers are one of her favorites). I said no because we were out of them (the truth, we are). Emmy says -

Please Daddy, I said please.........................we don't have any.
Please Daddy, just one..................................we don't have any.
Please Daddy, I ate all my breakfast.........we don't have any

and on and on and on.

It's like they don't believe me when I tell them there are none in the house.
