As any parent knows, children can be persistent -- and creative -- when they want something.
Consider this tale of the small boy who was persistent and resourceful. Five minutes after his father put him down for the night he called out, "Da-ad."
"What?"
"I'm thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?"
"No," his father said. "You had your chance. Lights out."
Five minutes later the call came again: "Da-aaaad."
"What?"
"I'm thirsty. Can I have a drink of water?"
"I told you No! If you ask again I'll have to spank you!"
Another five minutes, another plea: "Daaaa-aaaAAAAD. "
"What? "
"When you come in to spank me, can you bring me a drink of water?"
