Shopping with Rex

Rex and I went to Hobby Lobby today to pick out fabric for a pillow case Rex is going to make for Alice for Christmas.  As we're standing in line to check out, Rex notices a candy-filled toy that he must have.

I tell him no.

He continues to extol its virtues.

No again.

We get out of the store and he continues to tell me how wonderful this candy-toy thing is, so I sing him my new favorite song that I wrote myself.  It goes to the tune of one of Beethoven's symphonies and goes a little something like this, "No, no.  No, no, no, no no no.  No, no, noO."  

To which Rex responds, "Mom, why is 'no' the only word I hear coming out of your mouth?"

Touche.  (My mom used to say that to us all the time, and now I say it to my kids.)

I laughed.  But he still didn't get the toy.

He fell asleep on the way home.
