Negotiation

I gave Presley a ring from the top of a cupcake.  It still had a little icing on the ring.  She put it on her finger.  She is very tired and on Benadryl.

P1:  My hands are so sticky.
P1:  (begins to cry) My hands are so sticky.
Me:  Presley, stop crying.
P1:  (still crying) .. but daddy my hands are so sticky.
Me:  Give me your ring.
(She hands it to me.)
Me:  You can have your ring back when you stop crying.
P1:  (crying more now)  I want my ring back.
Me:  Presley you can have it back when you stop crying.
P1:  I'll stop crying when you give me my ring back.

Made me laugh.
