Such a Pusher

Yesterday morning began with a typical Ellie/Mommy dispute.  I informed her we were turning off the tv to go downstairs and get breakfast before the nanny got there.  The exchange went something like this:

Ellie:  Ummm, no, I just want to stay in your bed and watch Super Why.
Me:  Too bad.  Let's go.
Ellie:  Super Why!
Me:  (Turning off tv) out of my bed, now.  Let's go.
Ellie: (Grudgingly getting out of the bed, in her sassiest voice possible) Daddy's right, you are fun pushing.
Me:  Fun pushing?  What is that?
Ellie: You push the fun away.
Me:  (Remembering last night's conversation) Oooooh, you mean fun poison?
Ellie: Yeah, that, you poison all the fun.

She ain't seen nothing yet.
