That reminds me that once when my granddaughter, now 11, was a barely-talking little thing, maybe two and a half, and my daughter-in-law told her it was time for her to go to bed, she replied, enunciating every syllable very precisely "Unfortunately, I don't want to." I am told (I don't actually remember) that when I was a just a little older then that, that I was sick and running a fever. My parents were trying to give me medicine. Apparently I told them in a very calm voice "No I'm not going to take it." No tantrums, or crying, just informing my parents that I did not agree with their plans in regards to the medicine so it would be best if they came up with new plans. <g> I think their new plan (after threats and bribes both did not work) was to hold me down and force it in to me. Tim Edit - congrats for your grandaughter.
