Words of Challenge from the Magpie

* MP: "You never get me cheese pizza!  You don't listen to me! You are so mean! I'm going to leave the house again and be a homeless kid.  I'm going to live at the track!"
ME: "At the track?  Santa Anita or Hollywood Park?  What, are you going to live on eating flamingoes?"
MP: "No!  Not THAT track... the exercise track by Starbucks and I'll eat at Wendy's"

* MP: "MOM!  I HAVE to go to VANS."
ME: "Why buddy?  We're not really near a VANS store" 
MP: "But Mom, I HAVE to look at a new board; they're 50 dollars, and I've got 50 dollars!"
ME: "You already have a board, kiddo."
MP: "But not a REAL board Mom, it's just a Target board."
ME: "Oh, well- Escusez moi mon petite-  I didn't know we had to have a 'real' board."
MP: "Yeah, well, you don't know about skaters, and I do.  I can ollie! Now take me to VANS!"

You know who said...

Oh no! The complaints hit with the power of an imagination!

To be honest, at the 12-yr-old level, I am more likely to laugh at a creative whiner than a kid who's not that bright. Not fair, but true.
