Madelyn: Can we go to the pool after dinner?
Me: No, not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Me: No, not tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Madelyn, whining: Why not? I like going to the pool!
Tony: No one is saying that you don't like going to the pool. We're just not going tonight.
Madelyn, more whining: But I like the pool!
Me: We know that, but we don't want to go tonight. How about we go for a walk on the beach instead and you can hunt for seashells?
Madelyn, suddenly very happy: Oh! Okay!
