The Hard Way

My four-year-old daughter wanted to watch a movie tonight and she asked me to go turn one on for her. When she didn’t get the answer she wanted, she climbed up on my lap, put a hand on each side of my face, and tried to make my head nod. I shook it simultaneously, resulting in my head going around in circles. She backed away from me and said, “Are we gonna have to do this the hard way?” She climbed onto my back and began repeatedly pushing my head forward so it would nod. Then she climbed down, stood in front of me and said, “You said yes, Mommy, so go do it!”
