Scene:  Toddler looks forlornely at his plate of spaghetti as if it is Mount Everest and we just told him to climb without oxygen.
Him:  All done!  (Insert:  Big, sweet smile.)
Us:  Okay, but no snacks, no cupcake and no jelly beans.
Him:  No cupcake?  No snacks?  No beans?
Us:  No.  If you don't eat your dinner, there are no treats.  And we might eat a cupcake in front of you.  (Don't judge us, we hate the "eat your dinner fight" and have learned to have some fun with it.)
Him:  I hold a cupcake?
Well played, little stinker.  But, no.  We're onto your game....
