Bathtime

La tends to come up with some harebrained ideas every now and again.

For instance, she is in the bathtub right now, whining and yelling and pleading with me to get in the tub with her. Yes indeed. She wants me to climb into that bathtub right now and sit there while she scrubs me down. Does she think I'm crazy?

I walked into the bathroom a second ago to wash her hair, and here's the conversation that ensued:

La: Mom, PUH-LEEEEEZ get in the tub with me.

Me: I already told you. Absolutely not.

La: But, when you get in the tub, the water will get bigger, and then I will be more warmer!

Me: How 'bout I just add some more water?

La: No! I want YOOOOOOUUUUU to come in the WWAAAAATTTER with MEEEEEE ... PLEASE!

Me: No, thanks.

*long pause, wherein I rinse her hair, foolishly believing that she has given up on her nutty idea. But. Note to self: LA NEVER GIVES UP ON THINGS, EVER*

La: Mom, what one do you pick; friends, or not friends?

Me: Friends.

La: Why?

Me: Because I'll always pick "friends" over "not friends."

La: Well, you have to get in the tub if you want to be my friend.

Me: What kind of rule is that?

La: My rule.

Me: I hope you don't use that method to manipulate your school friends.

La: No. I only do that to you.
