Never argue with a three-years old

A routine conversation:

= So, Has, which one do you want to wear? Finding Nemo shirt and shorts or the bear?

+ Ma, the shorts and shirt are for playing, right?

= Yes, honey.

+ If we have taken our bath, we can wear them, right?

= Ya, honey. That's correct.

+ I want to wear my pajamas.

= Honey, pajamas is for sleeping. Not for playing. We can wear that later. So which one do you want? The bear? Nemo?

+ I want my pajamas

= Your pajamas are not yet dry. They are still hanging on the clothesline. So Nemo, is it?

+ I WANT MY PA JA MAS!

= Look, you have so many other clothes in the closet. Pick one. The pajamas are not yet dry.

+ MY PAJAMAS!!!

= Has, please.... look, this one has mickey on it. Or do you want one with the flower?

+ PA JA MAS!! WHOAAAAAA.......

And so it ended, this argument. She remained naked for the rest of the afternoon, refusing to wear anything but her pajamas. Once they are dry, she wore it.

You just can't win an argument with your three years old.
