Protesting

“Mom!” yelled Beanie.   “Someone flipped me over!”

“I know, Beanie,” I said.   “I put you on your tummy so that you could learn how to roll yourself over.”

“But Mom,” said Beanie.   “I hate being on my tummy!”

“I know, Buddy, but you really need to learn how to roll over.”

“How come I have to learn to roll over?” asked Beanie.

“Well….um…..I don’t really know,” I stumble.   “Its just what you’re supposed to learn how to do.”

“Well that’s just silly, Mom,” said Beanie.   “Now, flip me back over!”

“No, Beanie.   You have to spend some time on your tummy today.”

“Fine!   Then I’ll just chew on this blanket right here until you flip me back over,” said Beanie.

“Oh, Beanie, stop sucking on that!” I say.

“Alright,” said Beanie.   “Then I’ll just suck on this hand right here.”

“Beanie!   Alright!   Fine!   You win!” I said.   “I’ll flip you back over.”

“Hey!   Look Mom!” yelled Beanie.   “I rolled over.”

“Nice try.”
