Earlier today:
8-year-old: I'm hungry
me: well we have Cheerios and Life cereal...I can make you a bagel or some toast to go with it
8-year-old: I don't want any of those things
me: well, then I guess you're out of luck
8-year-old: you don't care if I starve
This same conversation, in essence, is going on in this thread.
