My wife has a certain talent for making powerful logical arguments. They are irrefutable because they are The Truth, and The Truth is even strong enough to confound a four-year-old's logic. As an illustration of this ability, I recently heard the tail end (ha ha) of the following exchange:
Scott (calling from the bathroom): "Mom, will you [muffled request blah blah blah]?"
My Wife: "No."
Scott: "But Mom, I don't want to!"
My Wife: "But it's your bum."
Scott: [silence, as The Truth seeps slowly in]
So Scott is learning the inconvenient reality that I learned early on in our marriage: my wife always speaks The Truth. And when faced with The Truth, there's just not much you can say back.
