how to argue with a seven-year-old

Kaes is lying in her bed, at night, lights off, reading a book.

Me: Kaes, what are you doing? It's dark.

She leans over and pulls back her curtains.

Me: Not outside. In your room.

She looks at me as if I am in fact an idiot.

Kaes: It is too dark outside.

  2. I love how the kids have to explain things to us retarded adults, when we are trying to explain things to them. I think that sometimes they look at us and think "How in hell did THEY get put in charge of this operation?"
    It's amazing that they have any faith in the universe at all.

  3. You are an idiot. You will continue to be an idiot until she gets pregnant and wants help. Then you will be a godsend or an interfering mother.
