6:30 am Conversation

Scene: Sam's fussy, in his bed, begging to go outside. Again, it's 6:30 am and cold outside.

Sam: I need shoes, socks and raincoat. Go outside.
Me: Sam, it's cold outside. We're not going out right now.
Sam: screaming, crying, mad
Me: No
Sam: YES!
Me: Sam, you don't argue with me when I tell you "No."
Sam: Mom, that's ridiculous!
Me: SAM!
(inner monologue: speechless, laughing and rather impressed with his use of the word)
