The Age of Negotiation


I told the boys they could play downstairs for another two minutes, since dinner was almost ready. Matthew replied, "How about three minutes?" Then, when it came time to go upstairs, I said we'd go after I counted to 20 -- and Matthew said, "How about 20 minutes?"

And yesterday, James said he wanted some milk, so I said, "Sure, let's get you a little milk."
James: "I want a big milk."
Me: "Okay, we'll get you a big milk."
James: "I want a super-big milk!"
