Eamon: <in his best whiny voice> "When are we going to eat?! I'm sooo hungryyyyy..."
Me: "Soon. Let me just finish..."
Eamon: "I'm staaarrrving!"
Me: "Ok, I'm done. Let's go work on dinner."
Eamon: <slightly surprised> "But I'm watching this movie."
Me: "Yes, and you can turn it off and come help me make dinner if you're so hungry."
Eamon: <moment of silence> "I don't know where the remote control is."
Me: "So you're saying that since you can't find the remote control and, therefore, are unable to pause the movie that you have seen a million times before, you are unable to help me make the food that you have been whining for?"
Eamon: <thinking> "Um, yes?"
Me: "Well, that's the great thing about DVD players! And TVs! They both have these little things on the front called BUTTONS than you can push with your FINGERS that makes them turn off so you can go on with your life! Here, let's try it..."
Eamon: *sigh*
Me: <after getting Eamon to turn off the above-mentioned electronics> "Oh, look how grown up my little man is, pushing buttons all by himself like a big boy! Aww!"
Eamon: "Could you please stop that?"
Me: "Hey, dude, you're the one that suddenly lost the ability to operate household electronics."
