Negativity

This conversation happened whilst sitting on the porclain throne.

Dad: “Son, go pee.”

Son: “Nyeh,” shaking his head rapidly, with a perfectly dead-pan look on his face.

Dad: “Son!” a note of exasperation in my voice “Go pee!”

Son: “Nyeh,” again shaking his head rapidly.

Dad: “Darius! Do not tell me no. Say ‘Yes, Sir!’” grabbing his head and nodding it up and down vigorously, while demonstrating how to do it myself. “Now, go pee.”

Son: “Nyeh,” shaking his head rapidly.

Dad: lets out a long, exasperated sigh.

Son: “Nyeh,” shaking his head rapidly.
