The Negotiator

     Today when I told the kids it was time for nap time. Abbey began to ply her trade as a negotiator. She said, "Can I rest for five minutes today?" (She doesn't have to go to sleep these days, but she does have to have a "quiet time or rest time").
     So I replied, "No, you have to stay in your room for  more than five minutes."
     She came back and looking like she was making a good deal, and I should be pleased, she said, " Ok, how about six?"

Aren't kids just plain fun sometimes?
