Persistence!
A small
boy is sent to bed by his father.
Five minutes later: “Da-ad . . .”
“What?”
“I’m thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?”
“No. You had your chance. Lights out.”
Five minutes later: “Da-aaaad . . .”
“WHAT?”
“I’m THIRSTY . . . Can I have a drink of water??”
“I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to spank you!!”
Five minutes later ... “Daaaa-aaaad . . .”
“WHAT??!!”
“When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a drink of water?”
