In the bathroom last night...
Mama (getting out the hairdryer and plugging it in) : Come on AJ, time to dry your hair.
AJ : No!
Mama (picking him up and putting him on a chair so that he can see in the mirror) : What do you mean, no!
AJ : (to the mirror) No dry hair! No!
Mama (brandishing the hairdryer and switching it on) : Well, you can't go to bed with wet hair...
AJ : (best grimace to the mirror) No, dry hair! No, no, NO!

Ask and you WILL get an answer. I cannot tell you how many times this kind of insightful child comprehension of the world has gotten to me. I hope you stopped insisting on blow drying his hair. After all, the kid doesn't want to look like Opa.
I'm still chuckling. -
