The scene: Walt and Mommy are playing "Old Maid" in Walt's room. Walt has already lost one round (what, I'm supposed to let him win?), Daddy has arrived on the scene, and Walt is clearly losing interest in the game.
Mommy: Walt, have you made your matches? We can't play until you make your matches.
Walt: (Bouncing around room) I did!
Mommy: (Patiently) No, you didn't, you don't have any matches there.
Walt: (Still bouncing) Yes, I did! Hi, Daddy! (Plus some additional 4-year old nonesense talk.)
Mommy: (Still patient) Walt, if you don't want to play anymore, we can just put the cards away.
Walt: (Growing more hyper and clearly not interested) No, I want to play! (Catapults self onto bed for some gymnastics)
Mommy: (No longer patient, voice somewhat raised) Then play!
Walt: (Stopping all activity and muttering under his breath) You're grumpy.
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
