Last night, shortly before bath time, Miss T decided she wanted some candy.

Miss T:  I wan sum candy.

Me:  No ma’am.  You’ve already had candy today.

Miss T:  I wan sum candy.

Me:  I said no.  You had a lollipop earlier, remember?

Miss T:  [climbing into dining room chair]  I wan sum candy.

Me:  Nope.  No candy.  [walking away]

Miss T:  [loudly]  I wan sum candy!  I WAN SUM CANDY.

Me:  [ignoring plaintive candy-related yelling as I put away laundry]

Miss T:  I. WAN. SUM. CANDY.  I WAN SUM CANDY!!

Me:  [returning to kitchen]  I said no more candy.  Say it again, and you’ll sit in time out.

Miss T:  [angry stare]

Me:  [angry stare]

N:  [trying not to laugh]

Miss T: [folding arms across chest, whispering pointedly]  I wan sum candy.
