Another conversation with Pigpen, who has the cold/allergies evil I had last week:

Pigpen: cough cough.

Me: You know, if you took some medicine it’d make you feel better.

Pigpen (visably alarmed): I’m NOT going to take some medicine.  Cough Cough.

Me (recalling the massive battle to try to get a tablespoon of cold medicine in the boy, succeeding in getting a half tablespoon on my arm, his shirt, and the floor, and mitigating the cough by reducing the boy to a sobbing, screaming, gibbering mess due to the attempt): I’m not going to try to give it to you again.  But, Pigpen, it’d make your cough better.  I can get you some grape medicine.

Pigpen: Thats what I’m not going to do. Cough cough.

Me: OK.  (Walk over to the computer to start writing this)

Pigpen: No Pigpen, you don’t need any medicine.   I’m not going to have some medicine.

Now everytime I look at him, he looks back and says "I’m not going to have any medicine".
