Checkmate
The mother (raises her voice while waving her index finger): “That’s it! I’ve had it! If you don’t get dressed instantly, I will renounce all your bonuses for this week; both the everyday chocolate bonus and the Friday toy bonus!”
The child doesn’t wince. In a very calm voice he answers: “This will not be in your benefit, mom. If you do that, I will not give you ANY hugs this week. And if you will continue to threaten me like this; I might even stop talking to you altogether (gets excited) and about the hugs: I might refuse to hug you for one thousand days, or one hundred million days (calms down) so you MUST realize by now, mommy, that talking to me in this way won’t do you any good at all.”
ROFL :-)

Yap. At the young age of 5 and a half Baby D. became invincible. Today Uri heard him ‘educating” a wee friend that came for a visit, explaining how children were actually “smarter than adults”. He’s planting the seeds of rebellion…
Dude, you do know that I need a translator for your comments, right?
