“Dad, don’t take our doggie downstairs.” Oliver, talking about a newly rediscovered stuffed animal, which plays music.
“No buddy, I’m taking it downstairs because it’s noisy and I don’t want it to wake up Lily.”
“But dad, we won’t push the button.”
“That’s nice, Oliver, but honestly I don’t trust you.”
The briefest pause. Then, in a low voice under his breath, “Ohhhh that’s riiiiight, we would totally push the button.”
