"Bobby" was the little grandson of two of my parents' friends. He was "famous" for insisting

"Me no want to hear that!" through quivering lips each time he was told he could not have his way. If told he had to finish his veggies before he could have dessert, that he must brush his teeth or that he could not have a pony---"ME NO WANT TO HEAR THAT!"

Bobby was just 3 or 4 years old then. Hopefully, wherever he is today, he has a more mature attitude and no longer believes he is the center of the universe. If he has not, he is likely a loudmouthed anti-masker who "no want to hear" that, in order to behave like a responsible "big boy", he must wear mask.

For cryin' out loud, eat your damn veggies, wear a damn mask and stop whining.

“I SO mad at you, Granny!”

My transgression: I gave her the wrong teddy bear at nap time. I sure hope she grows outta that. But she is slightly more mature in her behavior than the president.
