Me: "So, is there anything you'd like to tell me this morning?"
Eamon: "Umm, no?"
Me: "Really? Nothing? Nothing at all?"
Eamon: <thinking harder> "Uhh, when's breakfast?"
Me: *sigh* "How about 'Happy Mother's Day'?"
Eamon: "Oh, yeah. Happy Mother's Day. So when's breakfast?"
later...
Me: "What should we do when we get home? Or rather what should you do for me since it's my special day and I'm not supposed to work."
Eamon: <innocently> "You can work."
Me: "It's Mother's Day! I'm not supposed to work!"
Eamon: <litigiously> "But on Mother's Day, moms should do whatever they want so if you want to work, you can."
Me: "Yes, I know I can work today if I wanted to but I don't want to. So are you going to help do some work for me today?"
Eamon: <grudgingly> "Yes, I'll help do some work for you today. But you know if you change your mind and do want to work, you can."
