Me, "Nathan, take these toys and put them in the toy box."
Nathan, "But I'm so thirsty mom. I need water..."
He proceeds to drape himself backwards over his dad's chair like he has no energy left in his whole body.
Me, "Do it now, I'm serious."
Nathan, "But I'll DIE if I don't get water. DO YOU WANT ME TO DIE?!?!"
Me, "Yes, I guess I do. If it means you don't get water, and you walk these toys over to the toy box. Right now!"
He sits up, looking shocked and horrified.
Nathan, "I can't believe you want me to DIE, Mom. Geez!"
Then he grudgingly takes the toys and puts them in the toy box, managing not to drop dead of dehydration while doing so.....
