Can I please have a bar of chocolate?
Only half a bar.
Can I please go bowling with friends?
No. You cannot go bowling with friends...
Why not?
Because you have already been to the movies with friends.
Can we please go mini-golfing?
Maybe in the school holidays.
Can I please have take-aways for tea?
Only if i can too.
Can I please have my own television?
Can you please stop asking questions?!
