Evolution of negotiations with my little kid during the last week:

Me: it’s time to stop gaming now.

Little kid: * throws gaming device across floor, attempts to decapitate me with a kung fu kick to the head *

Me: how about you get in the bath, count to ten, and then you can get out?

LIttle kid: TWENTY! Twenty and I’m in!

Me: hey, do you want to make a deal and get in the bath?

Little kid: ok. I’m in.

Trigger warning.
