Sorry, Buddy, but flattery won't work.

Today in church, I prepped my oldest to go to Primary. He didn't want to go alone, and begged me to go with him.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you because I have to go to the Nursery with your brother. Maybe Daddy can sit with you for a little while until you're more comfortable."

"But Mommy, I don't want Daddy, I want you!"

"Why do you want me and not Daddy?"

"Because you're more nicer!"

"Aww, thank you. But, Daddy's very nice, too. Daddy can sit with you."

"But, Mommy, you're more cuter!"

Well, I couldn't exactly argue with him there. But, nonetheless I had to insist that Daddy go with him and not me. Eventually, he accepted.

He's an aspiring wheeler-dealer already...
