“But why?”

“Because I said so.”

“That’s not fair!”

Life’s not fair.”

“How come you don’t have to?”

“Because I’m the parent.”

“Why can’t I be the parent?”

“Because I already am.”

“I won’t!

“You will.”

“I don’t like you!”

“I love you.”

“Can I have a hug?”

“Of course you can.”

“I love you, Mom.”

“I love you too.”
