Overheard: In the Ladies' Room

...conversation apparently started outside the restroom...

Mom (in sugary sweet voice the WHOLE time): now, Ethan, don't be like that. I want you to be a nice boy. Can you do that?

Son: No. I just want a piece of candy

Mom: I said you could, but not until after we eat something good. I don't want you to get a tummy ache.

Son: but I can have another piece?

Mom: yes, that's what I said. but not until later because I don't want you to get a tummy ache. After we eat something else you can have a piece of candy. Or a cupcake. Or Mrs. Allen made really special cookies for you. Would you like a cookie?

Son: I'd like a cookie. Can I have it now?

Mom: well, ok, but that's the last thing until after we eat some dinner.

... out the door...

UM - hello? Mom? You totally just got schnookered by your kid!
