My 7-year-old: I don’t understand you, Mummy. Me: Oh? Her: You’re a grown-up. If you want to get an ice-cream every day, you can. And you don’t.

I have been writing "ice cream" on my mother's shopping lists since I moved out of her house.
Once I sent her a (requested) book with post-it-notes every few pages reminding her to buy ice cream. (She didn't open the book for about a year, by which point I'd forgotten. There was much laughter.)

I agree with the kid.

Good point. Think about that.

Good point well made.
