Wisdom

The other day we were all in the van on the way to town and one of the kids asked if they could have some ice cream when we got home.
"No" Andrea replied, "I've already told you guys that about ten times today. No ice cream."
Of course this prompted a chorus of complaints and indignation from all four corners, including; "Come on mom, you never let us have anything we want!"
"That's not true!" Andrea shot back, "We give you lots of things that you ask for. I'll bet you get about 75 percent of the things you ask for."
More howling from the back rows; "Ha," Kenrick retorts, "it's probably more like three percent!"
Then, in the relative quite between waves of protest, Paxton pipes up from the back:
"But mom, you'll get more cash back!"
