Em: Light! <points at living room light switch>
Me: No, honey. It's dark room time (which preceeds bedtime)
Em: Light!
Me: No, it's dark room time.
Em: <walks over to end table beside me, points at my Sonic cup> Daddy's?
Me: Yes, that's daddy's cup.
Em: Daddy's cup.
Me: <looks away, then hears said cup fall over. Rights the cup (thankfully the cap stayed on)> You know what? Let's not play with daddy's cup, okay?
Em: <walks back over by light switch> LIGHT!!
