Today after Grace slept in because she was sick
Grace: Where is everyone?
Robyn: They went to school.
Grace: What?!!!
Robyn: I let you sleep so that you could get better faster.
Grace (wailing): But I wanted to go to school! I don't want to stay home!
Robyn: I know, but I can't send you to school with your cold and cough.
Grace (still wailing): I don't care!!! I want to go to schooooooool!!!!
Robyn (trying the distraction method): What do you want for breakfast?
Grace (wailing louder): NOTHING!!!!
Robyn (overcome with guilt): How 'bout some ice cream?
Grace: NOOOOOOO!! I don't want anything!! I want to go to school!!!
Robyn: Are you sure?
Grace (after a minute or two calms down significantly): Well, ok. I'll have some ice cream.
Robyn (to herself): Yep. Ice cream is still the best medicine for this family.
