- can I go to [insert friend's name]'s house?
- can [insert friend's name] come over to OUR house?
- can I have a popcicle for breakfast?
- do I HAVE to do my chores today?
- can I watch Star Wars again?
- are you ever going to stop working today?
- can we go swimming right now?
I say "no, no, no, yes, later, sure, at some point and not right now" and ask what everybody else is doing. This is where it gets good. Pay attention to the end, its a grand slam, in my book.
"Tiffany is watching Maury, Casey is making toast, Mackenzie is sleeping on the couch and Mike just put a corn dog on her face."
Non chalant...calmly. Damn, I love motherhood.

nope, can't says i've ever had a corndog.
then you have never lived, my dear friend.
Also, I'm starting to wonder if Mackenzie will need therapy because her stepdad put a corn dog on her face while she was sleeping. He also built a pyramid of empty cups on her forehead while she slept. The boys...they found this hilarious.
You sure that was a corn dog?
I wonder where kids come up with those things. The corndog idea that is.
i like how you turned "nonchalant" into 2 words, because you're awesome like that.
remember "halo'd"?
in my world, we call corndogs pogos... no matter what the brand.
That poor child is going to need intense therapy.
