Miles: Pleeeeeeease, Mom? Can't I have a green apple?
Me: I said no. You can't. I'm saving them.
Miles: So when can I have one?
Me: You can't.
Miles: I can never have one?
Me (getting pretty exasperated and sick of this conversation): Yes, I guess never.
Miles: NEVER??
Me: Never.
Miles: Mo-om.... In Heaven!
(He said this last bit in a sing-songy voice, as if I should have already known that.)
Miles: Woo-hoo! Yes! Hey, Mom, can I just run around?
Me: Good grief, why are so wild tonight?!
Miles: I'm drunked!
I feel like sending my little friend a bag of green apples. I wonder if Fed-Ex will deliver those.
