Early morning, Saturday--mommy and daddy's bed.

Levi: TA-DA!!!!!!!!!!! (brandishing something in his hand, waving triumphantly)....

Mom: What is that Levi?

Levi: It's a booger.

Dad: Awesome.

End Scene.

The Negotiator--or how the war against the smoothie was won.

Early morning, Thursday--breakfast time (day two of operation "get son to drink new smoothie drink).

Levi: What you making me mom? What we gonna eat?

Mom: How about you try this smoothie? It's delicious. It has banana! Max and Jake LOVE smoothies.

Levi: Noooooooooo! No mom. I don't like smoothie. I want peanut butter and toast.

Mom: Okay, you can have peanut butter and toast and you can just try the smoothie. You can have both. Just one sip of smoothie!

Levi: I don't WANT a smoothie. Just peanut butter. And toast.

Mom: Sorry little dude. No peanut butter and toast without smoothie. You eat way too much toast.

Levi: I don't LIKE smoothie.

Mom: You've never even TRIED smoothie. Try it, you'll like it. Hey, if you don't just try ONE SIP of smoothie, you aren't eating toast.

Levi: (head cocked to one side, contemplating) Well...... what do I get if I don't have smoothie and toast? Cereal Bar?!? I love cereal bar.

Mom: No, I don't have any cereal bar. We are all out. But you can have a smoothie! Yummm, banana.

Levi: (falls on floor in fit of hysteria, crying etc...) ahhhhhh! I WANT a cereal bar....Please mom, please. i NEED it. Cereal baarrrrrr.....a*(@^_%Q*!!

Mom: (cringing) Okay, okay, forget it. Just toast, with peanut butter.

Levi: Okay! Yummy. I love toast. And Peanut butter.

End Scene.
