8. They'll ask the same question over and over again until you cave in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNkp4QF3we8 In what will surely becoming one of the most recognisable child-phrases of all time should such a thing ever be documented, the above utterance is created out of some sort of slave-driver-esque mentality of repetition to thoroughly wear you down, boring its way into your skull until you have no choice but to give in, or run arms a'flailing out of whatever store you're in. The goal of the child of course is to take home whatever random item they've now decided their life depends on, as the sugar-fuelled fantasy they've attached to this otherwise nondescript action figure or playset suddenly becomes The Most Important Thing In The World. After hours of asking between hours of different shops, if no suitable replacement or 'upgrade' can be found for their affections, the child will still be yammering on about whatever that initial object was, and chances are it's at this time that they offer the above 'compromise' of a phrase. Depending on whether or not you caved when this first happened, will no doubt determine the power-relationship you have with that child for the rest of your lives together. Don't fall for it.
