Me: "Ok, Olivia, mommy's gone to a dance meeting, so you can take a shower."

Olivia: "COOL!"

Me: "But mommy said you better wash your hair, so you better."

Olivia: "Oh, no problem dad."

Me: "Olivia..."

"What?"

"No messing around. If you don't wash your hair, I'm just going to turn you over to her," and, I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist, I even said it slowly, "Mommy Is Not As Forgiving As I Am." I really wanted John Williams playing just then.

"Yes, daddy, I know. Ok. Byeeee!"

I wasn't kidding, either. She just better have clean hair when she comes downstairs tonight.
