Negotiations

We're the parents. Beatrice is the child. No negotiating. Right? Well, yes and no. Mostly no these days. My favorite negotiation recently went something like this:

Me: "Beatrice you have 5 more minutes to play and then we're going upstairs."

B: "No, no, no Mommy. I want TWO more minutes. Two, not five!!"

Me: "Um...ok, yeah fine. Two minutes it is."

Zach and I agreed knowledge is power.
