Mummy, biscuit.
No! Now go and eat your breakfast. I’ve told you already, you can’t have a biscuit until you’ve eaten up all your breakfast. If you’re good boy and sit down at the table and eat it all up, then you can have a biscuit. But first you need to eat your breakfast.
…Mummy?
Yes darling.
Biscuit.
No.

No.

No.

Oh for pity’s sake, here, have a biscuit and leave me alone!
There is a level of stubbornness in three year-old children that we can all learn from. My 3 year old will be taking seminars on Harnessing Pester Power To Get What You Want from April 2012. Tickets will be available from www.ohfuckingmygodjustshutup.com from January first onwards.
