Debate

Yesterday morning, the kid informs me I need to make pancakes for her. This is the debate that followed.

"You need to make me some pancakes, please."

"What am I, the pancake maker?"

"Yes."

"What if I want to be the pancake eater?"

"I'm the pancake eater."

"But I want to be the pancake eater."

"You can't be."

"Why not?"

"You are the pancake maker. You need to make the pancakes now."

I cannot argue with that logic. I lose every time.
