Sometimes we take exception. Sometimes we make one.

Only going to ask this once…

Anyone ever had this conversation with a toddler?

Adult: “Do you want cereal or pancakes for breakfast?”

Toddler: “I want ice cream.”

Adult: “Listen to the choices: pancakes or cereal.”

Adult: “Do you want cereal or pancakes for breakfast?”

Toddler: “I want ice cream.”

Adult: “Listen to the choices: pancakes or cereal.”

Adult: “Do you want cereal or pancakes for breakfast?”

Toddler: “I want ice cream.”

 

I now close this scene prematurely and leave to your imagination where it goes from there. Could be good; could be bad.

I transpose this conversation now to politics.

Adult: “Do you want Obama or Romney for President?”

Answer the question. Unacceptable toddler answers include any name that is NOT Obama or Romney; toddler answers also include: ” I am not going to vote.” “I will now have a tantrum because I don’t like my choices.” And the ever popular: “You are mean!”

 

Do you want Obama or Romney for President?  I am only going to ask this once….
