Conversations With Milo

Int. My Home. Mid-afternoon on a cloudy day.

Me: "Let's pick out a movie to watch."

Milo picks out BATMAN meets SCOOBY-DOO. I have seen this movie about eight thousand times. 

Me: " Let's agree on something. I don't want to watch that. No Scooby-Doo or Batman."

Milo: "Mom, you always pick fings I don like, and I not gonna like what you pick."

Me: "Well, lets find something we can agree on. Bedtime Stories?"

Milo(flatly): "No"

Me: "How about scary Simpsons?"

Milo: "No, because that freak me out sometimes."

Me: "Okay, how about Bob's Burgers?"

Milo: "WELL. Someping gonna change my mind it gonna be ice cream.(although in Milo-ese it is pronounced eye freem)My mind finking I wanna watch Scooby-Dooby but if I have some eye freem it mean I gonna be finking what YOU want mama."

Me: "You are an evil genius. I'll get you some ice cream in a second."
