Negotiating with Ryan

Ryan is following big brother into becoming a Lego nut so it was no surprise when he started picking out what he wanted for Christmas from a Lego catalogue.

Ryan: Hey, Dad, I want this and this and this and... (you get the idea)

Me: What will Santa say if I ask him if you've been naughty or nice?

Ryan: Yes.

Me: No, have you been naughty or nice?

Ryan: Yes.

Me: Your choices are "naughty" or "nice." Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ryan: Naughty?

Me: So if you've been naughty, what do you think you will get from Santa?

Ryan: No, I want you and Mom to buy the Legos for me!
