The "NO" game

If I hear Preston tell me "NO" one more time Im going to scream, shout, run around outside in complete hysteria, stuff orea cookies in my ears, shove myself down the laundry shoot. Ok I cant fit down the laundry shoot but the cookie idea isnt half bad. I must have told him to stop doing wrong things atleast a dozen times yesterday. Such as stop cutting line at the water slide, stop splashing me, etc. etc. and yet I got the same answer NO. I made him get off the slide and stay off the remainder of the time at the pool in hopes that he would learn his lesson. While at home he got a time out for telling no when I told him to pick up his toys, he got a swat on the butt when he told me no when I told him to stop throwing grapes. I would be satisfied if I never heard him say no to me ever again. I was so frustrated that I talked to my mom on the phone who asked me if I ever learned my lesson and if I ever stopped saying no to her...my only honest answer was No. Enough said!
